Poem

By Parizo Van Thulare 

what have we done this time ?
What happened to together as one ?
Why us?
Why now ?

I thought what we had back in the ages was through
I thought that blood which was shed back was dew

When I heard of the rainbow nation 
I was moody and glowing
When I heard of color making combination 
I knew things would come smoothly
It felt so nice
Seeing those of my kind so bloomy

Continents from the South bowed to us 
Those from the north started sharing with us 
They knew we were peace makers 
The knew we were good neighbors

But now 
Things have gone south 
Weapons are used like spoons 
Wearing down every street like troops 
With sound blocking my ears
That smell of a man burning  makes me cry 

I felt useless looking at the screen of my Aunt's television
Asking why men are in collusion 

Why chasing one with such hatred ?
Whilst u know that when it rages ,it destroys hundreds
Why calling one with words that are sour ?
Whilst we thought you are the one with honour

I dreamt of waking up in the middle of Zambezi one day 
I slept picturing the beauty of Victoria Falls today 

But how will I go there ?
If its residents are being bullied in my home 
How will I see such beauty 
Whilst guns are rattling next door ??

Ohh! Lord of mercy 
The father of billions and trillions 
Please come and deliver us from evil 
Save us from varnishing 
Please protect my Africa
