Revelation


Betrayal of the betrayed
Speeches already said
Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Junior
The fairness of blackness
This black continent more black than the inhabitants
The black philosophy against white supremacy
More racial than the white philosophy against black superiority
It has been revealed

Criminals walking scot-free
The should-be-free languishing behind lice-infested bars
Criminals in lavish upmarket shopping sprees
Claiming half the parking lot for their fleet of cars
Affirmative action not active for already poor
The life blood of empowerment making the poor more poor
The poor apparently comfortable in their pavements flooded with sewer
The poor becoming the blood donors of the life-blood of the industry’s cure
It has been revealed

Why the rich give to the poor
Yet the poor never get rich
It has been revealed
How the laws of demand and supply are confused
Eventually only to confuse the price
After successfully confusing the consumer
It has been revealed
Why the greatest secrets of success are contained in international best-sellers
With award-winning tags and a million copies sold
Not in the pink Financial gazette
Or the H-Metro business update
It has been revealed
Why the beauty of the body is subjected to debate
On the basis of the breasts and the buttocks
And not the benefits borne by the body to the bearer
It has been revealed
Why these revelations have been hidden away
From those with eyes and ears
Yet they were written and spoken
For all to read and listen
Right in the beginning of time
It’s a revelation.
