The Soda Drink in South Africa
The can of American sugar-wateris the cross of Jesus Cola
carried over the shining water
by bold missionaries
to these savage lands.
In it we pledge our faith. It is our future,
more secure than Hallelujah,
comforting us with knowing
our millennium lies in
its maker’s wise paternal hands.
