healing the nation

never again should we be subjected
subjected to the profanation of the sacrosanct
the sacrosanct symbols of our struggle
never again should there be the arrogance
the arrogance of self proclaimed saviours
leaving people to burn in the sun
while in hotels they wine and dine
with hounds and concubines in tow
inflammatory speeches should forever be gone
statesmen and women should take to podiums
messages of nation building should resonate
the time for the healing of the nation is now
