The marikana report
cracked across the koppie
Distant and muted
Echoes in the congealed dust
Covered by hasty lust
Of protection not serviced
By an unstated state
Of perpetual unrest
The marikana report
Arms across the treasure chests
No bulletproof invests
Herded unheard
Wired and barbed
Strikers struck
What else can be read
Greed leads with lead
The marikana report
Brokers unbroken
Unions disunited
Affluence influential
Theories intellectual
Leaders ineffectual
What else to grieve
What else do we need
