The Soda Drink in South Africa

The can of American sugar-water
                            is 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.
