Due Restitution [REVISED]

Instead of asking why they leave the Dutch Reformed
Church in droves, the question should be why doesn’t
the Church lie down, shrink into shame or die - in that
day & age condoning apartheid politics as well as it’s
inspiration is an abomination - biblically interpreting
self-fabricated gods who can’t survive such atrocities

In Pretoria the Church smugly held Synod after Synod,
a city where Africans were not allowed on sidewalks;
shame of an ugly past can’t be removed - at least let’s
start by changing the name to Tshwane - Africans not
allowed to buy and own a house anywhere, needing a
pass to prove some white person vouched for them

Gave them job and a room - & diminished education:
preparing whole generations for slavery in their own
land - church’s guilt from doing nothing more than
protesting - except an NG church of damned that led
the oppression and thinks a weak apology makes up
for the sins of the past - madness, nothing can make

Due restitution for watching people suppressed until
they’re crushed by regulations; 100 whites only from
the Congress of Democrats (COD) went to Kliptown
for the Freedom Charter, the rest were going to Hell
