Never in the history of independent nations, have a people's leader and his cronies betrayed and thrown away their nation's independence so utterly, completely and totally, to be wiped out of existence. Never in the history of mankind, has a nation's military and civilian establishment so willy-nilly agreed to sell out everything, but everything it owned and built up over more than 300 years, to its enemies, to be run down and destroyed. Never in the history of free peoples, has a strong people so needlessly given away its strength and the strongest defence force on the the whole of a dark and brutal continent, so its defenceless men, women and children can be killed, shot, beaten, raped, assaulted and driven off their land with impunity and abandon. Never in the six or so millenia of our recorded human past, has such a betrayal and sell-out as was engineered by FW de Klerk and the Broederbond in South Africa in 1994 happened without any credible threat, without losing a war, without a real emergency. Purely on the absolute selfishness, amoral greed, venal arrogance and unbelievable stupidity of the ruling clique, to whom its people had given their trust and all, and often life and limb.
It's now history. It happened, there's nothing we can do to make it undone. Those who try, end up betrayed all over again, thrown in prison, found guilty of high treason, and incarcerated for the rest of their lives. And we, the defenceless people, facing the creeping genocide all around us, are basically just waiting our turn to be 'serviced' by the ruling regime and its rampant, armed henchmen. Those, that is, who have not been run out of the country altogether,like so many of our children. Or who are lying six feet underground. Which is, come to think of it, not a bad place to be in, under the so-called New South Africa we were dumped in by the threacherous Latter-Day Nats and the conniving Broederbond gespuis. At least the company is better... Sela.

"Burning Bridges"
ReplyDeleteFriends all tried to warn me
But I held my head up high
All the time they warned me
But I only passed them by
They all tried to tell me
But I guess I didn't care
I turned my back and
Left them standing there
All the burning bridges that have fallen after me
All the lonely feelings and the burning memories
Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door
Burning bridges lost forevermore
Joey tried to help me find a job
A while ago
When I finally got it I didn't want to go
The party Mary gave for me
When I just walked away
Now there's nothing left for me to say
All the burning bridges that have fallen after me
All the lonely feelings and the burning memories
Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door
Burning bridges lost forevermore
Years have passed and I keep thinking
What a fool I've been
I look back into the past and
Think of way back then
I know that I lost everything I thought that I could win
I guess I should have listened to my friends
All the burning bridges that have fallen after me
All the lonely feelings and the burning memories
Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door
Burning bridges lost forevermore
Burning bridges lost forevermore

ReplyDeleteTHE AFTERMATH OF WAR
ReplyDeleteWar was never.....
Nor will it ever
Be justified.....
Too many innocent victims
On both sides of the spectrum
Get killed, are maimed and are wounded
The results of tribal war
Are never justified.....
Judging by how many have died!
I have witnessed the sights of disaster!
The Zambezi Valley was once filled with butterflies
Now it is full of fleeing countrymen
Fleeing from their crazy ex-president
Drawing blood in that beloved land
Who is out of touch with reality
He has lost soul and conscience
He will soon lose his fangs!
Victory will be ours in the end
How far backwards will we have to bend?
