ROSARIES

Rapped tight with a rosary Oh, your darling Kennedy
Burned so bright too bright for many, shall we put him on the penny?
The greedy peoples pose so sublime. You etch his portrait on a dime.
Officer’s interrogation did stir Gandhi’s congregation.
Law and wit do complicate. There is no need to segregate

Live and die the way he went. Oh, Socrates, a great mind was spent
-on rubbish and prodigality for a wanton society.

If death approaches me now you know with you, I will surely go.
The poison is the world you see of a hypocrite society

Where are the great ones today has nothing good to say?
Lunging out jingoism so brazen Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan.

Poetry by Northover
Oh Africa, let freedom reign - Oh Africa, let freedom reign Rain down a storm On the white man's home, Let him see that God Is watching over all. Let the thunder clap its hands Together we will stand Hand in hand one and all Africa
