Mugabe and Mandela, Murder begets murder; White murder begets black. Once one goes for blood, There's no exit back. Power unrestrained By wisdom, love, or law Leads to even greater Horrors than before. Yet letting whites retain The property they stole Leaves blacks still dispossessed, Though equal at the poll. For wealth is ever power, Wont to have its way With those of any color Who happen to hold sway. And so the pot still boils With anger finely honed. Was violence avoided? Or was it just postponed? Mugabe and Mandela, Two ways to found a state: One through storms still sailing; The other drowned in hate. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon. Free for personal or non-commercial use.
