Indoctrinated
Divide and rule
Scrapped
The policy Apartheid
No longer on the statute books
A battle we fought
By hook and crook
We waged war on racism
Solidarity once a hard won
Wondrous reality
Human Rights Day
Celebrates
No easy victory
Divide and rule
Alive
No longer on the statute books
Submerged, internalised, self-imposed
Witnessing battles in the street
Ethnicity fuels resource capturing
Solidarity
Trapped in a pained polarity
Nation building somehow unravelling
Disappearing my idealistic dreams
Maybe we never had
Collectivism in reality

Entrenched
We talk and talk and talk
The reality of the world invades our space
Each element we discuss
Pervades set beliefs
In discussion
Seldom
Entrenched ideas
Fail to retreat
