You Want to Take Over

You want to take over
this tuft of land
this last bastion
of our game

You want to take over
the bigger piece of turf
that which is the old
as we enjoyed it then

You want to take over
you and all the others
you of darker ideas
and municipal-council education

You want to take over

Penned Tuesday morning, September 2 2008 on seeing the Cape Times piece, “Woman racially taunted, assaulted by three men at Tri-Nations Test”.
