Turpitude.






Draconian Alliances buy blackface
with straight hair wrapped in patronising doeks
Another Nation Corrupted
by bald heads rested on impudent, gold threaded pillows
Out of the question!
Freedom Friends fight fiercely for forgotten faces in fancy footwear
while a Congress Of The People bickers over two old faces
 Definitely not!
Azanian People are yet to Move Pan African Consciousness
Prospects are dimming.
Yet still, I shall play along.

Mosiac





my heart is like my mouth, always open
my mind is like my sleeve
cut up into separate sections

be smart, unlike the doubt, laying hopeless
we’re blind despite the grief
cut up into separate sections

For The Poor, By The Poor.

Cape Town, 1983, Tricameral Constitution: in addition to the House of Assembly (whites), two separate assemblies are created for coloureds (House of Representatives) and Indians (House of Delegates). 
This is why some "Coloureds" and some Indians and many white people still have a sense of their being superior to Africans in South Africa.  Yes, these days they hide it well.  Political correctness has taught them to grin and bear the darkie, the black, the kaffir, to hold their tongues and watch their manners until they get home, but unfortunately hate and contempt aren't things that a person can easily hide.
