My Curses

I curse away one head to stabilize the thinking,I curse away the set of eyes that forever fall from the face to set a clear vision.I curse away the spear,the nation builder to educate the ***** controlled youth.i curse away your home and give the country a roof over their heads. In the name of Hani,Sobukwe,Plaatjie and Biko I cast away the power hungry demons,I cast away the big tummied devils and I also cast away the raw fish eating kings.In light of peace,love and harmony I pray for justice,sense and sanity.I pray for the end of blood shed,xenophobic attacks and women bashing. Black against black,white against white,black against white,our sense of sight has been racially removed.A rainbow belongs in the sky,I will continue to carry a gun and shoot everyone who looks different.Dompas memories,Bantu Stans living,Africanism disappearing I curse away tenderpreneurship. Big beard,farmer clothing and a monkey hating gun.Game drives on police vans I will drag race with the monkey tied at the back.Blood spilling,dark screams as you touch base with your ancestors.1652,1990,1994 I curse away the Dromedaris. "Black like me" Cheeky black statements,arrogant monkeys,I call upon the mirror. Mirror mirror on the wall prove that blacks are still stupid. Mirror mirror on the wall hope the trick works again. Green,Gold and Black We hope for greener pastures,gold fields to rid poverty but we know black will always darken our futures.

A sad and often true reflection of our beautiful country. What happened to all those promises made in 1994? A great and bravely written poem.
