The Coolbaroo Club

We danced and we danced
Whiteman’s prejudice faded somewhere in the music
Somewhere in the joy

For us mob

Our love grew
Beyond apartheid
Beyond colour

Puppet police guilt ridden
Uniform sadness

We danced and we danced
For fourteen years

Then the music stopped

  1. Hello,

    I was just wondering if I could have the Author’s name and permission to use this poem in an English Assignment.

    Thankyou.
