Poem
When a tribalism person laugh at a racism person , it is like twin brothers mocking on themselves. When someone who is xenophobic laugh at a hater , it is like two best friends mocking at each other. Quote by poet Xenophobia, A victim of xenophobic attack, It is always hard to condemn your bad acts Being xenophobic in one hand And thinking that racism Is the only bad act. Being tribalism personality in one hand And Condemning haters at other hand. Reality of this cruel World. Xenophobia, Fifteen years back , I was two months in the country on May 2008. One evening from doing a piece job , I met five guys at railway street and asked me questions in their mother tongue. It was hard For me to respond As I did not hear them. One of them punched me, I saw death as xenophobic attack Violances were rising In different Towns and locations. I said in my heart," Oh! God , Escaping from tribal conflict In Eastern DRCongo And meet with his friend Xenophobia in South Africa. Do your miracle Lord" Then I stood My ground To die publicly. They took out knives And attacked me promptly. I tried to defend And found bleeding. I was stabbed many times, Lost control and failed. They left me knowing That I have gone to rest. Xenophobia, Next day from ICU, I found out I was in North Dale hospital, Found by police patrol As I was laying while bleeding Near the road for four hours, And brought by the ambulance. More wound bandages on my body. The chest oparation went well. An ICD tube was inserted Because of haemorrhage. I stayed 25 days in the hospital Supported By Good hearted Nurses and doctors. From the hospital, I thanked the Lord for his miracle in my life. I understood the real meaning of knowing The local language Of the county of refuge. I started learning The most popular local language To avoid being victim of xenophobia again. Xenophobia, In Africa, You will hear about the rise Of tribal conflict here And xenophobia there, Regionalism here And racism there. Good investigators Always found out The instigators... The masterminds Who hate the development Of Africans. April 29/2023 Written for poetry contest sponsored by Constance la France Theme chosen: Xenophobia
