Strife

Tribal knobkerries
Wheeze in the air
With passionate fury –
Bearers of tribal differences
Stride and threaten.

Hooves of the racist cavalcade clatter.
Cold coughs
Blow chilling breezes
From the smoking muzzles of guns
Trained on the weak and weary.

Strife

Tribal knobkerries
Wheeze in the air
With passionate fury –
Bearers of tribal differences
Stride and threaten.

Hooves of the racist cavalcade clatter.
Cold coughs
Blow chilling breezes
From the smoking muzzles of guns
Trained on the weak and weary.
