Mandelas Sermon By Keorapetse Kgositsile

Mandelas Sermon By Keorapetse Kgositsile
Deified are the dehumanized

for they stand zero to lose

but their restraint

False gods killed the critic in me. Now

I dig graves

with clever accuracy

"Making the model for inequality as a motivator for the spiral of biased offensive..."

Shylock: Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Jew hands, organs,

fabricate, right mind, affections, passions; fed with

the identical food, spoiled with the identical weapons, comfortable

to the identical diseases, heal'd by the identical necessary,

warm'd and cool'd by the identical winter and summer

as a Christian is? If you smart us, do we not bleed?

If you tingling us, do we not laugh? If you spleen us,

do we not die? And if you sham us, shall we not revenge?

If we are like you in the rest, we option resemble you in that.

If a Jew sham a Christian, what is his humility?

Payback. If a Christian sham a Jew, what neediness his

sufferance be by Christian example? Why, revenge.

The atrocity you teach me, I option do,

and it shall go hard but I option put the lid on the requisition.

(Willian Shakespeare, The Hawker of Venice, Act III, vision I)
