Greed Is Not the Answer But Humanity Is

Once upon a time, I was a beautiful queen, innocent and radiant. Sparkle with beautiful gold and diamonds. One of Africa’s top models. Until they come from different lands and cultures. Raped me, took my innocence, and made my children slaves. They stole my children’s inheritance, emptied my fruitful uterus. My children know to take only what they need. Respect me and always be grateful. Doing the rain dance to say thank you. These evil people left their spawn behind. Plundering, taking everything that is rightfully mine. After years their reign was abruptly stopped. A new boss was coming from prison. My children thought they would finally be free. That he will fight for them and me. Unfortunately, he was providing for his own needs. Let the world believe he is a genuine king. He waited until he accumulated enough to provide for his family and himself. Threw my kids for the wolves again. They are name and shame. “Kaapse kleurling”, “Colored. ‘Malou”, Not rightfully as Khoi-San. They fell into despair, why is life treating them not fair? They fought for him to be free but he only provides for his people’s needs. Then he gave his title to someone new, He visited more other countries than worried about his own. To him, charity does not begin at home. Incompetent indeed lifted out the seat, But why replaced by a thug who only sees to his greedy needs? Married every year to a new woman, thinking with his and not his brain Had a clown as his sidekick who barks at the wrong trees. Saying stupid things while stealing millions. For years they were raping and betraying me. Until he was caught wanting to sell me out. Now I am governed by an entrepreneur. Who thinks he is smarter than all the other oppressors here. My children endured so much pain and disappointment. They are looking for a cure. Seeking the answers in a bottle, needle, or pipe. Fighting each other daily with knives and guns, Gone is humanity. I pray that one day they will come back to reality. That greed is not the answer but Humanity is.
