Louw Wepener

When Wepener climbed mount Bosigo
the steel assegai points
glittered against the slope.

His rifle hit its own thunder
where he stood
against a horde of the enemy.

Shooting loading and shooting
while assegais shining
like falling rain from the air

and the Almighty
asked a brave man a sacrifice,
to like His Son carry a cross.
