New face, same heart

Professor Derg Burger 1999 (Booplaats, Capetown)

Free verse
Commodifying bovine culture by dressing up your babies in cow print onesies,
One nation, under the influence of Sodium Nitrate,
Humanity indelible,
With subjugation, brand new shoes, and discounted travel rates for all!
