A Poem to OCF
Dear Editor,
I would like to dedicate the following poem especially to my dear friends in the Wellington Overseas Christian Fellowship:
May 14 saw the coming of $1500 fee crisis Student's anger and protest have turned into actions.
Meeting, petitioning, leafleting, marching.........
The Fightback campaign is on.
Dear friend.
Where have you been all this while?
Your long silence has greatly worried me.
See, the world outside the ivory tower and chapel is undergoing change.
Hear the cry of our brothers and sisters both here and 5,000 miles away.
Are you going to feel sick again? Or are you going to help yourself in helping them?
The world outside needs you.
There is no time for apathy and sorrow -
Mere praying is an escape from reality because there is no pie in the sky.
Come out of your nutshell and join in the fight-back campaign.
Hope to see you soon.
