Black man, we are going to shut you off

We are going to set you apart, now and forever.

We mean nothing evil towards you

You shall have your own place, your own institutions.

Your tribal customs shall flourish unhindered

You shall lie all day long in the sun if you wish it

All the things that civilisation has stolen

Shall be restored. You shall take wives

Unhindered by our alien prohibitions

Fat-bellied children shall play innocently

Under the wide-branching trees of the lush country

Where you yourselves were born.

Boys shall go playing in the reed lagoons

Of far Ingwavuma, the old names

Shall recover old magic, milk and honey

Shall flow in the long-forsaken places

We mean nothing evil towards you.
