The Boer Wars

The two wars are those Boer Wars,
Bent on mastery of a continent too southern.
There was Majuba Hill, a defeat of number one,
A British nation, a link can be found of profundity.
‘Native Affairs’ are won by the Boers
In their peace, in their very peace.
Victory was peace, aliens were among them,
They brushed with death, brushed with life
And sworn secrecy, only it is known.
They brought hatred to the world with wars,
Raiding each other and weaving a silent web.
Isolated they had no chance, the British were defeated!
