Human-Free Tomorrow [rev] Poem by Margaret Alice Second

Land ownership’s just a Western concept; settlers
couldn’t steal it from indigenous Africans altho’ we
settled everywhere - governed by glorious tribal
power - just like survival of the fittest as land must
be ruled today - so let’s take Southern Africa back
to pre-European times, let’s return to natural land

Sans infrastructure & deep mines, sans libraries
& schools, let’s return to the sweet San People’s
stone-age; skin wearing, stick wielding, primitive
huts & carrying things despising spiritual evil on
rolling wheels; let’s imitate Ethiopia - land which
has not been colonised, a most desolate place

Let’s imitate Zimbabwe & ignore 1945 Germany
flattened to the ground and torn in half,15 years
later West-German Economic Wonder, apartheid
end - Germany re-unified,15 years later a global
leader; rather create Zimbabwe for ourselves, as
once a greenhouse-precursor wealthy country -

Currency outbidding the US dollar - let’s compete
with Ethiopia to be the most glorious desolate place
yes, let’s take land back to the tsetse fly & Malaria so
no-one can settle or graze cattle & Mother Earth can
become pollution-free again; let’s take our world back
to living without money, capital & wealth sparing too

Much life; let’s destroy infrastructure to return to pre-
Western times with nature & man living in harmony:
a short, primitive life will take the earth back to former
glory, let Africa give birth to a human-free tomorrow…
