Unfortunate Souls [c] Poem by Margaret Alice Second

London Times says South Africa’s so very
unique, poor unfortunate souls, so lonely,
so sad, so depressed - living in the ONLY
country where affirmative action is needed
to PROTECT the MAJORITY of poor, sad
souls with total political control against a

9% MINORITY GROUP, all this ATTESTS
to failure of the African majority, so lonely,
so oppressed, to create their own wealth-
making structures; they sorely need a little
magic, but until then - only one solution:
take all from the 9% minority group -

because the loving, delightful, footloose
and fancy-free souls in the majority have
no clue of ethics and honesty; they shoot
themselves in the foot, living with a cut-
your-nose-to-spite-your-face morality

happily chanting “Domani - let’s forget
about tomorrow ‘cause tomorrow never
comes”, we’re taking Africa back to the
Middle Ages to start again from scratch
as ANC-rulers who gloriously learned

nothing from history except formulating
a kind of Social Communism, absolute
power to oppress their own people with-
out heeding industrialism, dictate to the
poor, unfortunate souls – and insist on

remaining thus until Domani brings a
prehistoric hunter-gatherer culture - in
the pristine African continent - where
evolution will take its own course for
the poor, unfortunate souls…
