Never so (few)<\/p>\n
Never so (few)
\nsays our emperor
\non the very same earth
\n(no second one yet)<\/p>\n
Never so (few)
\ngiving the country
\na bad name through
\ntheir violent acts<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a minority
\nthe majority is not
\n(we are peace-loving people)
\n(is poverty not the worst
\nform of violence in your town)<\/p>\n
We are peace-loving people
\napartheid was sustained
\nthrough entrenched violence
\n(we have the moral high now)<\/p>\n
We are peace-loving people
\na woman or girl is raped
\nevery 25 seconds down here<\/p>\n
(Was the brutal gang-rape and murder
\nof a 17-year old Bredasdorp girl
\nan extreme example of ourselves)<\/p>\n
Femicide is the order
\nwomen brow-beaten and besieged
\nsexual assault the daily custom
\n(though this seems not to count)<\/p>\n
At least our emperor did not
\nresort to the dodgy tradition
\nof we are all so pious
\nand even religious too<\/p>\n
Never so (few)
\nNever so
\nNever<\/p>\n
An Editor on SAFM\u2019s Sunday morning The Editors programme wonders what planet our president inhabits: \u201cMost South Africans peace-loving, Zuma tells opening of house\u201d (Cape Times, March 8 2013). The said \u201chouse\u201d is the National House of Traditional Leaders in Parliament.<\/p>\n
