Incredible The History Remains Poem by Gert Strydom

The incredible history remains
of men taming a wild harsh land
of murderous, plundering tribes,
of burning homesteads, slaughtered livestock,
of years of rifle fire,
of wars fought in order just to survive
and now in the black government's schools
the history is twisted and distorted to fit into their culture,
to fit into political views with lies becoming the new truths
where they, the Cubans and Russian generals were the sore losers
but they think the great victory they had won
where a white leader and the whole white nation at that
had given away this country to them as a gift
expecting a kind of gratitude
and some righteousness to function
but got oppression, chaos and fraud instead,
while slowly the past reality is turning into myths,
even the great black book of eternal truth
called the Bible
is also by some seen as this.
