Just saying

Some say they prefer apartheid government but I don't, today I was just chatting with my friends on the train on my way back from campus, it was hurting to hear that some people prefer apartheid times, due to tribalism, nipotism, lack of progress, and  corruption ect. Another friend of mine, more like an acquaintance  even said he would give his name to the rich companies who do not hire black people (African, Coloureds, Indians and Chinise) so that they can get an income from the government as long as he get his big pierce of chunk to enjoy, nothing makes more angrier than people who do not want a change, who wants to add on the chains, how can we expect a greater country that is full with possibilities if we act like slaves, even though we free?

 What about those who are qualified to be there but they can't be there? It is painful to hear those things coming from young people who are probably the future of this country, yes we are facing lot of problems and challenges in our country, especially young people, challenges like unemployment and poverty, but that doesn't give us reasons to do such things, things that helps our country to move backwards, that's not humanity, we want our country to grow.

 That's means, if you agree that you would use your name for a company that you not even part of it, you would give classified information to destroy the country as well, there is no difference in that or there is? Poverty is a sensitive thing, people would do anything just to put something on the table, I mean anything even selling people or their own souls, but you would never go to bed with empty stomach while you are around people, this is coming from whose life is a living witness of that, but I am still alive, poverty never made me to compromise my values.

Democracy, it is

Because of democracy that i trekked anywhere I want, with no fear,

Nor anxiety, with full confidence that I belong to it, because many suffered,

And were tortured for the privileges I have today.

Many fought, few survived and the rest took credit for the dead can’t speak

Nor breathe.

Call me a survivor but I’ve done nothing, worship me, and celebrate my days

With joyful songs but I was never restrained nor told what to do.

It is because of democracy that I can speak freely, allow enclosure dance into

 The tiles of my own civilised floor, that I carried, shared and save it for the last dance.

Don’t blame it on me, but

It is because of democracy that African Nation is demonised, filled with anger,

It is the reason that I live in a small box, covered with hood,

Humiliated, discomfited self-conscious,

Sharing privacy and joined with insufficiency to carry the journey

And still smile that i belong into a warm community.

It is because of deficiency that we are joined in one circus, blinded by mist

In the veld,

 Reveries no longer occur; sometimes she thinks she will wake up

This will be a nightmare, but here I am

The mist has gone, but the perspective remain,

The roots have replanted

With free body’s, slaves in mind

Now the grass is brown, for the winter has taken over
