The House

A long time ago
the black people built
a house on a hill,
which was painted all white.

For long the house stood
'midst turbid history
'til coloured black,
for just eight years.

This caused such tumult
and terrible furor
it was painted again,
this time for a führer.

After four endless years
of injurious sore
and calamitous chaos,
color changed once more.

What will come next ?
it could soon happen
the people tear it apart
for good, to destroy it forever.
