innocence I saw a glimpse of light
through the creaking boards
that the white men hadnt covered
underneath their floor
I saw the light creep through
tempting to me come near
whispering "hey you
lets get out of here"
a thought came across my mind
and made me jump with glee
thinking that i could escape
and maybe id be free!
but sadly the white men came
and covered the floor
closing off all the hope and light
here i am sore foverevermore
Can understand your poem... on a trip to South Africa felt extreme pain to read Mahatma's mind expressed through his book about his doubts whether to fear the white man sitting next to him or fight for his dignity...
These were put up at the station of the showdown in SA by spoornet ...
I feel it is never late for a reconciliation from the bottom of the heart and just not as if lip service from a podium...
