After the Dust Settles
See in south africa, we are
diverse like very tree branches
we oh so admire.
You have your different races
and in them people divide
themselves
Through status , language,
religion and money. But the
greatest gap is through black
communities, which I am a part
of.
It brought tears to my eyes to
witness
the Black bothers oppress one
other cause one thinks their
language is a superior to the
other.We should have learnt a
lesson from the Apartheid, one
would think.
I sometimes wonder when
Nelson Mandela invisioned a
beter world was it anything like
the one we live in today?.
Yes, i am glad that I,a black
man, have oppotunies that I
procure based on my hard work
and not my skin colour.
But is it too much to ask for
people direct positive energey to
one another.
At the end of the day I ask
myself
are we an anger driven nation,
now that apartheid is gone, do
we
turn against each other?
