He said he didn’t know<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

There are many
who are there
right here
out Africa-way<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Knowing
knowingly
and not knowing<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

in denial
and denying<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

they are beyond too
on the rest
of Planet Earth<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

He said he didn’t know
the little enclave’s last
does as many have done
and many will continue to do<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Might Ladysmith Black Mambazo’s
haunting Homeless
be a reminder
a little hint<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

that the system\u00a0
he oversaw
had been declared
a crime against humanity<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

some even have it
that it was\u00a0
an unfortunate past
a glitch on the horizon
of the planet\u2019s timeline<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

like the Little Troubles
over in (Northern) Ireland
like the fall of Saigon
(and not the people\u2019s struggles
against various imperialisms)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

He said he didn’t know
notwithstanding the scars
the scarred and the scared
still<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
