with rich and varied
struggle history
feted internationally
South Africa is blessed
many Robben Island graduates
orchestrate a peaceful revolution
advise world bodies in various affairs
glorious leaders amongst men
sitting with a blank cheque
able to fill in any future
masses scribble a bouncer
placing balance in the red
certain account holders
deposit an expired cheque
African Renaissance not considered
banking integrity never questioned
other account holders, many
deposit a false cheque
moral balance never considered
banking integrity never questioned
of all possible transactions
positive inter-account transfers
probable interest on investments
is this the sum of our current account!
two questionable cheques –
one dud
one stale,
neither signed on policy!
with two unsigned cheques
battling it out in the ledgers
banking regulations are flouted
future policy lies disguised
account holders are uninformed
or apparently do not really care
so many possibles for excellence
yet our account hangs in the balance
