Johannesburg is a memory of
mission houses
with tyranny of fear and
tear-scarred lives.
It is said to go well dear friends
not to spite but to forgive.
But man did abide in
reasons for living when prison
and apartheid ruled. The
struggle for diamond mines
soaked up blood. Stay well
friend of friends.
Poverty pain & suffering was
South Africa 1946. Go
well old fathers. Go well
and forgive.
