Cows, fowl on road
Not by will, with pigs - business -
Of life and death
II April 6, 1652
From Holland, van Riebeeck
Europe's willing men, to Good Hope
Good, bad, near Robben Island

THEY MADE ME FALL IN LOVE WITH CHELSEA
Color blue...
Dan Petrescu...
Capi Dennis Wise,
UEFA the biggest price,
Celestine Babayaro,
Still remember him like tomorrow.
Zola definitely lure me
As honey attracts the bee.
Y'all remember Tore Andre Flo?
Our football was a masterful flow...
Then comes a flash from flanks,
Robben does the wing robbery with silky pranks,
The Duffer those it from the left flank,
Damien Duff dust-off defenders off the rank.
Witness the power of thunderbolt Hasselbaink:
Jimmy the Floyd playing the dummy
then ball rolls out like a mummy,
Straight to Bolo Zenden for a cut back
through the acute angel of the pitch arc
to the rocketed-feets of Lampard into the net.
Now, watch the replay; the spectacule is set.
Never underestimate the blue army clan,
These heroes & more made me a lifelong fan.

The whole truth has be illuminated by history
Without learning from the past there’s no victory
We don’t need another 27 years on Robben Island
We don’t need fingerprints of foreign hands
Enough blood has been stained on our flags
When Africa advances wars and fighting, Africa lags
Stop waiting for another Mandela and Sankara
When you have the whole truth and all the answers
