I have such senseless work on my desk, an <br />analysis of the wrongs in the Congo and its <br />natural resources lost to the First World - I <br />still hear a Congolese General, a winsome <br />young man of twenty-four years - claiming <br />war is necessary & they'll persevere, I still <br />find claims on the Internet that third world <br />countries made ungovernable is the best <br />way for crime to hold sway <br /> <br />And I still remember Congolese members <br />of Police claiming women should have12 <br />kids at least - and then lament women are <br />not active in corporate environments such <br />as here in South Africa; how to make time <br />between labours and another baby to feed <br />I‘d like to know - if Congolese attitudes do <br />not change, I can't see how they can bring <br />about peace, insisting only their own tribal <br />group should be governing… <br /> <br />[29 September 2014]<br /><br />Margaret Alice Second<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/own-tribal-group-rev/
