Slaying Dragons
You wanna know which dragon I wanna slay?
It's the History Dragon
The one that one won't lie down and slink back
to the filth it rose from
White hoods
Red Swastikas
Burning Torches
still breathing fire
today
Today!!!
Barely
70 years, since the Holocaust ended
50 years, after the Jim Crow laws were abolished
20 years, since the Apartheid died
Not even a lifetime
One that rises from Stench and Rot
Slay it - it lies still... for a few years
Rears his fiendish head above the smouldering ashes
spewing filth and smoking garbage
Trying to make everything White Again
White-Wash History
Start clean, fresh, white
innocent as a new-born babe
Grow into Fine People
Crush others to fine dust under our heels
again and again and again
Shall we stomp this dragon out now
and wait?
It will rise again
Feel it.. vile, sneaking beneath our feet
snaking within our ribs,
burning our throats
It speaks
with OUR VOICE!
