Winds of Change

"The winds of change" a Briton warned In his speech to South Africa, Meaning that those who were scorned Might soon rule the republica. Many heard what he was saying From the parliamentary podium But most were probably thinking He had smoked a shot of opium! No one made capital from this. Not even the underdogs! It is true that their nemesis Had guns, hippos and dogs! Clever circles murmured the phrase But even they didn't backdrop it. Was it all a wild goose chase? Was it anywhere within their ambit? But the winds of change reached the shores! The apartheid forces resisted! However, the winds entered the doors! And universal suffrage was instituted! British premier Chamberlain was right! He'd looked from his vantage point. Democratic South Africa came to sight: An idea that might have seemed quaint! 4/16/2022
