from a point of ignorance, or perhaps from
a point of common sense...
  listening to
                  jan lamprecht talking
about apartheid in south africa, and how,
apparently, the idea was to create
      a poly-state solution, or what would
have been a federation, akin to u.s.a.,
   now, i already said, from the point of
ignorance, or perhaps from a common sense...
let's not read too much at this point
for the sake of argument...
           if that was really going to happen?
that there were white states, and there were
black states,
       but somehow, they managed to work
together...
         i'm looking at the map of south africa
right now...
          now...
            in europe, you have countries
that are land-locked, and we just call them that...
but i'm looking at the map...
    and the apartheid beginnings, which
would rather seem obvious to the eye...
    wouldn't apartheid have been stalled
             once lesotho & suazi emerged?
surely these areas weren't the spartan 300
akin and never being colonised...
     it's a "poem", it's not a history book,
                   i don't feel like i need to be right
or wrong, or need to constantly rely
on precision of facts to write, constantly making
references...
            i'm working from: word of mouth,
from someone who was there...
     but i can't really imagine either lesotho
or suazi being so ****** resistent to british
rule...
           to me, they were the beginning results
of the apartheid project to create
      the s.a.f.      the south african federation,
federation meaning: there's already a whole,
now we need to cut it up, but retain the original
whole...
         united states?
                                 how would you establish
that, if not through a civil war?
                     it's still a federation,
the f.s.a.         ha ha, imagine the chants...
    f.s.a.!                f.s.a.!      no ring to it without
   there's a federal bank, right?
                    federal this that and, of course,
x-files & federal bureau of investivgation.
            like i already said, i'm not going to look
into the origins of lesotho & suazi,
       as other than from the project apartheid...
and i'll only cite one realiable source:
  jan lamprecht...
          it's the tongue on the ground (boots too),
         and if he doesn't know what he's talking,
how can some historian, in a stuffy library in
england tell me what is and what isn't true?
