Happy Freedom Day, In South Africa

Freedom was preached, Millions of South Africans waited, Waiting for many years. The regime was very Hash to  some folks, And privileged the minority. Disadvantaged people Cried yearly, No one cared for them, Discrimination and racism Were the major problem In the entire South Africa. More black people were Tortured, Shot, Chopped, Arrested,  Hung innocently. Some freedom fighters Were put behind bars Due to fighting For their rights. The way was long To reach freedom. Bright sun, moon and Stars appeared,  The day and night Were so bright. Time for forgiveness Which was called " National Reparation." Some wounds could be healed, And damage fixed. Some prisoners were released,  Peace and love reigned, Rainbow nation Was born, And Apartheid died. Millions of people sung," freedom" Because they were now free to do things They could not do from Many years. April 27/2023 By Alfonso Warally Ngengethe       Mussabwa Chris
