South Africa
She has taken her place on the Southern tip of Africa
Out of slavery and wars
United in the fight, against apartheid
The lady still thrived
Heading for an ordained disaster, if she listened to the skeptics
Again she rose and amazed the world
Flauntingly hosted the soccer world cup,
Revered for her tenacity with her rainbow nation in tow
In fighting spirit,
Continually using sport as a uniting force
And not disillusioned about the continual battle against poverty and strife
