Nice read, I live the line " Whose principle offense is not being 'White'" Long live the rainbow nation.
Hi Poet, ANC was formed in 1912, exactly on the lines of Indian National Congress formed in 1887, with the same purpose, same philosophy. Non- iolence was the core ideology for both. Like Gandhi, Nehru, Subhash Bose and other leaders of INC, the leaders of ANC including Nelson Mandela were jailed. For pretty long time. Finally, the alien oppressors bowed before them. In both the cases. Such is the power of non-violence.
Hi Unnikrishnan, thanks for your insightful appraisal of the poem. Remain enriched.
