ANC Greedy Leaders- South Africa

In a land where shadows linger long, A tale unfolds of a people's song. Apartheid's chains, a cruel embrace, Enslaved hearts in a divided space. Kindred souls, with no love for gold, Living lives where stories are told. No ego's sway, no material desire, Yet, history unfolds, a somber fire. Through years of colonization's hand, A web woven tight across the land. Black against black, a twisted game, Materialism's rise, igniting the flame. Brothers turned enemies, sisters in strife, A discord sown in the fabric of life. Marriages crumble, love replaced, By a hunger for wealth, an insatiable taste. Men with men, for coin's allure, Sisters sell bodies, hearts impure. Fathers oppressed, bearing the weight, Of a legacy forged in a bitter fate. Mothers, once pillars, now torn between, Feminist fervor, a tumult unseen. Destroying man, a misguided quest, As unity crumbles, a nation oppressed. In the chaos, a stark divide, White families thrive, with values beside. Raising children free from trauma's stain, While others suffer from history's pain. Land ownership a tale of despair, As the majority's share becomes rare. Charges for power, land, and more, A cruel toll on a people's core. Nelson Mandela, once hailed with cheer, Now accused, a clone, a double near. ANC's leaders, bellies filled with greed, Stealing from those with the greatest need. A nation weeps, in sorrow and woe, As the coming generation begins to sow, Seeds of despair, young lives entwined, In a web of darkness, seeking to find. Awakening sought in the depths of despair, A plea for help, a nation's prayer. To break the chains and rise above, Reclaiming a heritage, a legacy of love.
