Nothing To Lose [rev] Poem by Margaret Alice Second

Now it is coming true - excluded from politics &
forced to endure decisions they disagreed with,
the poor took to the streets, torching buses and
buildings - since the luxury to have a say in who
should govern them has been taken away, they
have less dignity than before, believing the only

Way to be heard is in destruction of precious &
valued things of the powerful & rich; their ANC
masters refuse to consider their concerns thus
the only way forward is lead by a burning cross
borne by the people who're scorned by wealthy
politicians of this world - if there is no redress

They'll continue to rampage & destroy because
in having nothing, they have nothing to lose….
