Chris van der Westhuizen

Onafhanklik.
Maar tog so afhanklik
So is die mens.

Onafhanklik in sy ego,
Maar tog so afhanklik
Van wat ander sê.

Ja, tog so afhanklik
Van mense om hom,
Van liefde, en van God.

                              Chris M. v/d Westhuizen '1996 (3de Jaar)

Dependence

Independent,
Yet still so reliant -
Such is humankind.

Independent in ego,
But still so reliant
On what others say.

Yes, so dependent
On those around him,
On love, and on God.
