I saw an angry African tower over a bleeding brother I saw a by-passer look on, with little bother I saw a neighbour inflict a new scar and a blister I heard a woman’s yelling silence a pleading sister A foreign accent crying out for help A cry drowned out by indigenous mob’s blame A mob that takes over our conscience...
