MACHINE WEAPON
I discovered a Special present on my facebook page. A photo of Mandela had been uploaded into my photo space on my homepage. I don’t know who put it there but as a white South African I must be the envy of many. I wonder why? I display it now and have many friends of many nationalities and I wonder at my impulsive desire to assume his crown when no one knows who he is in the world now. This is because he would not have his image used symbolically like the of Che and it is guarded closely by the Nelson Mandela Foundation, this wish is. So to have an image not copyrighted is to know that you are special to someone.
Let us take to the hills
my brother
and take pot shots at the heads
of the nomad existence
that asks no one to find
the will to survive unless
it is to be here with God
in the name of Mandela
and the use of the word known
as machine weapon
is the way of making
the word of the man
seem like the joy that it is
in the life of man.
In the life of man
I stand still and watch
the colours recede into
dark and wonder where
it is not the better of two
to be here with You
and not with real life entities
called son and daughter of tribes
less known to God but better
than the work of mankind in making
it safe for all to die alone.
