TRUMPED

A swelled pinhead and
colonial offshoot declares
your home is a shithole;
to remain where you are.
you look around and
see the crap -
raped beauty.
Molested potential.
Stolen riches and resources.  Overwhelming chaos.
Pee without pots
No water to wash away
the stench of ammonia

Lopsided shacks -
The drop no longer long;
a hole in the ground
where flies meet.
Bread without butter
Riverbeds dumpsites
for termites.
Homes heavily laden
with worry.
the uni-grad doing taxi
not for joy but because
he has nothing to eat,
no job in his field.

The picture of seized splendour
rises inside your heart and it hurts.
Truth dawns -
the thief looks good in your gucci's
The rapist wears your scent
like the devil wears prada
He knows what he took
he orgasms on memorable euphoria;
rubs your face in the soil
where your soul lives.
Its all there
in black and white -

Your fist hits a bulls eye -
colonialists must fall
eat grass you slimeball!
Peace-molester.
landgrabber
exterminator
warmonger
conspirator
Henchmen for the Eye.

No enraged energy will
change a hole to a healthspa -
be it truth we vent.

We have to get down and dirty
and fix our pride.
No Dunghead can rip
dignity from us.
our minds must decide
to live and fight
or die before we're dead.

our hands must bleed again,
Our home must be rebuilt
or go to ruin
We must not allow
another pothead to poo
on our parade.
Our minds are not
brainwashed,
our sight is clear

This land is our land
We will grab the kingpins head,
shove it inside this hole
and make him eat his words.

And every Eye will see
Our holes will heal

Africa will rise from
the drool of the fool;
from the manure in his moo
and the pit he dug.

The urban dictionary
defines shithole well -

Africa will not be trumped!
