Why buy newspapers when you refuse to discuss <br />anything appearing in it, totally unconcerned that <br />the farmers are tortured on their farms, killed for <br />their money and livestock - as long as YOU are <br />safe in a cushy job while the rest of the country <br />burns and dies and goes down the drain, you <br />simply will not say anything <br /> <br />FINE, swallow your bloomin' newspapers, delight <br />in your existence without sympathy wasted on farmer <br />martyrs - their function of food provision does not <br />concern anybody, especially the government, who <br />cares what happens to anybody as long as they <br />are safe far away from children suffocated in <br />boiling water, people burned with hot irons <br /> <br />Why should you care, you can import food from <br />overseas or anywhere, who needs farmers here <br />in South Africa, you cannot be bothered even to <br />express sympathy with their fate, may you wash <br />your hands in innocence while the country burns, <br />following your political masters who see the land <br />as just another Tunisia to be sucked dry <br /> <br />By government and all their acolytes; destroy all <br />private business until the state is bankrupt and <br />international groups must administrate the remains <br />of their destruction - oh well, I am glad you are all <br />so happy while these people cry unto heaven - <br />retribution follows when people are exploited, <br />hope you will be so loftily silent then…<br /><br />Margaret Alice Second<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/so-loftily-silent/
