So It Happened
he appeared in my land
just like Adam in the Garden
bringing hope and life
the fruits grew luxuriant
soil became home of good things
then a serpent appeared from blue
the handsome man became naked
stomach bulged with greed
brain fool-hardy as rock
what a fate befell the land
as hardship came laughing
so it happened, still happens
in the land of the Blacks
