"Seretse" is Setswana for "wet clay" or "mud"

i shall staple this script and pray God to read it.

i see the ink on paper and close my eyes, i see a moving picture
of the epic - bloodless but grand, unknown but biblical.
i shall squiggle more words that will whisper to the grand souls of the
land, and rouse us to knowledge - how we got our colors of blue,
black and white. i am he and this blood between us is the
ink i write with, about one who bound the nation
together like muddy clay. white, black and indian; blue, black and white
- i will draft and perform. and when i get older they'll call me freedom
just like a waving flag.
