Page After Relentless Page [revised] Poem by Margaret Alice Second

Page 118 of ‘Long Walk to Freedom’ - the more I read
the more I hate white Nationalists imposing irrational
and evil laws oppressing all other South African races;
I now wish this horrible, bitter, evil and selfish Dutch
nation never defiled the coasts of Africa.

I read the name of Dr Malan - erstwhile pastor in the
Dutch Reformed Church, church of the damned which
spawned Nationalists as evil devils - church in which
Beelzebub himself was a pastor - Malan, who became
Prime Minister changed this beautiful country into Hell

For everybody; my head aches, ashamed to be white -
to share this trait with him and his hellhounds - wonder
why an Afrikaner nation that could inflict such pain on
other races was not judged & annihilated in the British
concentration camps to save the world from them

I marvel at how Mandela could forgive these racial &
prejudiced Nazis, set them free from manacles which
they’d imprisoned themselves in. Dutch-Afrikaners -
naive, stupid, ignorant people allowing criminals like
Malan and HF Verwoerd to lead them into hell where

Evil puppeteers inflicted unending hardship on people
not white in appearance - all criminals who should’ve
died on the gallows, stupid white citizens to be shot on
sight; as that includes me, so be it, I’m gladly a social
outcast deserving punishment for sins of Afrikaner

Fathers, knowing that my punishment’s well-earned.
The allergy making misery of life, causing me live in
pain is retribution justly visited upon me as off-spring
of this evil nation. Stripped of illusions by discoveries
of atrocious deeds of these bigoted racists - I’m in a

Kind of living trance of disgust for Draconian laws of
1954. I could never get along with the criminal leaders
of my tribe, was always irritated by snobbish classes.
Only problem is, while reading I’m trapped in horrors
described by Nelson Mandela in his autobiography

Wishing to read faster, get to the parts where he is
freed - suffering of his people’s unbearable, shocking
facts jumping off page after relentless page…
