FORGIVE
Forgive that
one who tortures us
Breaking our
bones and tears our flesh
Forgive that
one who dehumanizes us
Crashing our
b*lls and gauging out our eyes
Forgive that
one who sells our land to foreigners
Destroys our
swamps and cuts down the forests
Forgive that
one who sells our riches
And for a
pittance of pleasure
Hands over
our most precious heirlooms
Forgive that
one who steals our valleys
Destroys our
hills and changes the ancient boundaries
Forgive that
one who poisons our soils, burns our huts
And digs up
our lumonde
Forgive that
one who dishonours us
Despises our
inheritance and kill our sons
Forgive that
one who calls us lewd names
Spews
profanities on our mothers and curses our ancestors
Forgive that
one who steals our inheritance
Sells our
sons and daughters into postmodern slavery
Forces our
widows into prostitution and emasculates our young men
Forgive that
one
For we
forgive them too
