Poem
To say this metabolises my heart.
Luckily, I still have my brain and my sight,
to rectify and do what is right.
How did we get here, from apartheid to this violence?
What kills us the most is the silence
Of keeping such shame for the audience,
waiting for change yet drained by patience.
Is it worth it?
Being kicked and hit?
Being killed bit by bit?
OH, the intended pain,
Suffering from all the strain
Which affects even the brain.

Is this the end of the world?
Is there nothing to be said,
About the souls who are forever sad
Because of violence and nothing more
What about their hearts which are forever sore?
Why are we turning a blind eye?
To let others die.

Is this the way we want our children to live?
Is this what we want them to believe?
If so, then world has come to an end
Racism, a pandemic spreading quick with no cure
All the pain and struggle some people endure,
we ask angels, the Lord, to send.
Why does the world care less?
Maybe because we’re all covered by one dress
A dress of shame, OH my dear Lord!
This world is so flawed.

What are we doing to your people?
Pushing each other over a steep hill.
Our hearts are covered in sin
 people are stranded because of all they have seen.
We treat each other like animals.
What a prejudice
We have let race rip us apart,
divide us and forced others to depart.
We exchange words sharper than blades
Such words responsible for many deaths 

I feel tears ready to come out
Yet my heart is attacked by drought.
What have we turned out to be?
People practising prejudice,
Ill-treating each other, causing a fuss?
If so, this world will never be free.
 that is not who we are, not today or any day
Let the world start afresh, in a different way
Let equity own the world not racism
Let us not be part of fascism
Let race combine and not separate
Let love to own our hearts not hate
Let us all laugh instead of frowning
Let us fix the world and quit ruining.
