A land amputated
Ruled and left divided
at the stroke of midnight
the peoples misguided
Unholy blood-shed generated
A great nation the parasites still sap
Steeple-fingers on troubled temples they tap
Politicians wail from towers, hypocrisy so rank
On rivers of blood, votes, fishily they bank
Terror veils in vale of flowers - betrayed, brave men dead
Lessons from history- never truer word been said
Patriots sacrificed their lives, incomparable these braves!
Ironic that now free, so many mindless slaves
Abject the need to pacify and please
Internalised colonisation a deadly disease
Veni Vidi Vici - they came and conquered
Victor vector victim - now they bleat
On tolerant fleece the intolerant fleas
Wolves and sheep drink a river - blood runs.
To placate jackals as they continue to blast
Has pride so fallen in a nation's roaring past?
