Allan People Shall Share in the Country’s Wealth
foot wears one shoe at a time
mouth chews one mouthful at a time
choir sings one song at a time
in shop windows
faces of many things
smile and beckon –
hungry people stare
and those who know
know bread baked for stomachs
clothes woven to warm nakedness
shelters built to shield against stormy lightning
arts and sciences make
their magic meanings
say why Old Mutual trillions
why Anglo billions
why Ramaphosa millions
when we people
live under the same sun
on the same earth
drinking from the same rivers
