Dear Meneer
As I land,
You hold my hand
As I fall,
You stand me tall
You opened my eyes
Removed my icecap of blindness
To expose my inner core
And showed me that I’m worth so much more
As I bend,
You mould
As I cry,
You show me the how and the why
About the apeman
That added one plus one
As I live and breathe, I evolved
His greatest gift to the world, is love
As I play,
You knelt to pray
As I itch,
You took a stick to teach
As I scratch my head in class
You stretch my mind like hot glass
The mystery of the life was made clear
A seed of knowledge planted where there was only fear
As I raise my hand to reach
You enrich,
As I reflect on your impact
You’re my retrospect
We waste as the greenhouse effect
We burn in crude oil as dinosaurs went extinct
And as mining coal is our goal
We mirror smoke and turmoil
Thank you,
Mnr. Hilary Ramokgopa
