Africans a place<br \/>\nBeyond the cut and thrust<br \/>\nBeyond the racial murders<br \/>\nAnd utter disgust<\/p>\n<p>The brutality and murder<br \/>\nIt now is everywhere<br \/>\nTerrifying happenings<br \/>\nThat all of them now share<br \/>\nRepulsiveness and ugliness<br \/>\nAn exodus of care<br \/>\nThe floodgates clearly open<br \/>\nAnd not a bloody prayer<\/p>\n<p>Is heard now in the countryside<br \/>\nWhite farmers on their own<br \/>\nWaiting for the endgame<br \/>\nFor the dark seeds are sown<br \/>\nA history of banishment<br \/>\nAnd deprivation too<br \/>\nWith little understanding<br \/>\nOf the truly bubbling brew<\/p>\n<p>The billious and nausea<br \/>\nExtended near and far<br \/>\nThe restlessness and palpitation<br \/>\nOf being where you are<br \/>\nFear the all important function<br \/>\nConvulsing through ones veins<br \/>\nWhats tangible whats palapable<br \/>\nWhat has been seen as gains<\/p>\n<p>The callosity and grittiness<br \/>\nAnd survivability<br \/>\nEveryday is questioned<br \/>\nThere is no fluidity<br \/>\nThe land it occupies their soul<br \/>\nTheir breath the dust of old<br \/>\nWrung out hung out<br \/>\nScorched and baked<br \/>\nWhere ones vitality is rolled<\/p>\n<p>White Babies cut to pieces<br \/>\nHands chopped off at will<br \/>\nDrowned in boiling water<br \/>\nTerrible ways to kill<br \/>\nRacial discrimination<br \/>\nWhere restraint was clearly gone<br \/>\nAnd little or no help from the police<br \/>\nAnd it goes on and on<\/p>\n<p>Collateral damage everywhere<br \/>\nEphemerality<br \/>\nBlood-shedding and bloodLetting<br \/>\nWicked thuggery<br \/>\nMassacres apparent<br \/>\nThe butchers came and went<br \/>\nStrangled eyes dug out with forks<br \/>\nAnd every killing meant<\/p>\n<p>The mother of all prejudice<br \/>\nClearly aimed at whites<br \/>\nA furnace of activity<br \/>\nWell within their sights<br \/>\nEvery hour of every day<br \/>\nEvery sound they hear<br \/>\nThe smell of  blood is pungent<br \/>\nIn all that they hold dear<\/p>\n<p>The odour of resentment<br \/>\nHistorically intact<br \/>\nThey lie in ambush everywhere<br \/>\nAnd thats a bitter fact<br \/>\nWhether its rape or murder<br \/>\nIts meaningful to say<br \/>\nWhatever thoughts one has on this<br \/>\nThey never go Way<\/p>\n<p>Protection has been disbanded<br \/>\nThe police dont really care<br \/>\nThe government are out for blood<br \/>\nAnd the whites are now aware<br \/>\nMost do not have the money<br \/>\nTo ever get away<br \/>\nAnd so they make the best<br \/>\nOf what they have<br \/>\nNow everyday<\/p>\n<p>Farms are dilapidated<br \/>\nRun down crumbling fast<br \/>\nPiles of bones where animals<br \/>\nClearly couldnt last<br \/>\nNo water and no food<br \/>\nThey were forced to die<br \/>\nIts unthinkable and unimaginable<br \/>\nThat no one dare rely<\/p>\n<p>On any worthwile future<br \/>\nThey live from day to day<br \/>\nWaiting for the endgame<br \/>\nAnd it seems there is no way<br \/>\nTotal ambiguity<br \/>\nIts precarious alas<br \/>\nWith unemployment massive<br \/>\nSo many now enmasse<\/p>\n<p>And many more on social grants<br \/>\nProtests will provoke<br \/>\nPotentially a civil war<br \/>\nAnd clearly theres no smoke<br \/>\nWithout the fire of evil<br \/>\nOf the great devide thats there<br \/>\nWhite squatter camps<br \/>\nAre struggling<br \/>\nTo try to stay aware<\/p>\n<p>But listening to the people<br \/>\nAt their wits end for sure<br \/>\nIts treacherous and changeable<br \/>\nAnd suspicions cloud the air<br \/>\nThey are now at rock bottom<br \/>\nObscurity appears<br \/>\nAn unbelievable dilemma<br \/>\nAnd all close to tears<\/p>\n<p>No hospital no schools for whites<br \/>\nSpit at on the street<br \/>\nBlack first land first<br \/>\nThe new regime<br \/>\nThe threats are now complete<br \/>\nMany flaws in many arguments<br \/>\nAlong the way<br \/>\nBut contrary to reason<br \/>\nNo one can save the day<\/p>\n<p>Without a leg to stand on<br \/>\nSuch a jaundiced eye<br \/>\nOnesidedness is rampant<br \/>\nClosed minds now do try<br \/>\nAnd whip up more intolerance<br \/>\nAll bigoted for sure<br \/>\nThe whites are clearly waiting<br \/>\nTo be victims of the war<\/p>\n<p>Orania in the Northern Cape<br \/>\nIs a weird and curious place<br \/>\nAn enclave for whites<br \/>\nWith wondrous sights<br \/>\nWhere 5000 people face<br \/>\nA future in a folly possibly<br \/>\nIn a kind of harebrained vista<br \/>\nWhere they temporarily embrace<\/p>\n<p>Freedom from the squalor<br \/>\nFrom the base insanity<br \/>\nThe prediction is of genocide<br \/>\nThe darkest prophecy<br \/>\nImaginable we have to say<br \/>\nAn apocalpse appears<br \/>\nLikely on the horizon now<br \/>\nAnd great reservoirs of tears<\/p>\n<p>Are ready hydroponics<br \/>\nThe coming anarchy<br \/>\nBehold the bubbling cauldron<br \/>\nWhere everyone will be<br \/>\nMurdered thats apparently the plan<br \/>\nWhich is coming fast<br \/>\nAs their will and their volition<br \/>\nIs really fading fast<\/p>\n<p>Lauren Southern&#8217;s video<br \/>\nWas embittered and was bleak<br

there<\/p>\n<p>To be in that position<br \/>\nBrought down to ones knees<br \/>\nWith black clouds really everywhere<br \/>\nReally detainees<br \/>\nWaiting for the  end game<br \/>\nNow with no where to go<br \/>\nHoping for compassion<br \/>\nFrom those instigating woe<\/p>\n<p>Its hard not to see each of their faces<br \/>\nIn ones mind from now on
