Apartheid

He was baptized into slavery And submerged in the winter Of your hatred And was converted to poverty In the land of gold, You taught him that GOD Was a white baas Who had invented the pass! And the police were The angels of death, He learned to read Whites only Lest he fall into heresy And desecrate your piss-pots, And as you crept Out of the garden Of your humanity And excommunicated Yourselves from justice And damned your generation Chained in gold To a leper colony, And as he stumbled Through his oppressive crucifixion You took him off your cross And sold him in the market place To mercenaries while you counted the rosaries Of your crimes to man, Now he a victim Of your greed A witness to your crimes Is finally free.
