The moon appeared late at night
and a fluorescent lady shown about me
with a soft voice and pale fingers
she asked,

Of rivers of blood 
Of...

Rivonia
The courthouse of the treason trial
The cradle where the revolution grew
Prospered, and overthrew Apartheid

Twas the night before christmas 
and Christ was left out,
with no peep of the Good News,
no mountainous shout.
