Tears of My Country

Welcome to South Africa A country paralyzed by chaos Where dictators are called leaders With corruption as a norm in a steam Of empty promises of political lies A nation crippled by "Nyaope" As unemployment leaves youth with hopeless dreams Defeated by the powers of poverty A country where education is just another waste of time. Welcome to South Africa An environment where parents have lost kids and kids have lost parents Dominated by starvation of African children Weeping around barefooted in extreme temperatures A country where graves are habitats of young souls A place where diseases comes in all forms A nation where mental illness continues to darken the future of the coming days A society with the highest rates of crime Welcome to South Africa A republic of freedom known as the rainbow nation Where the struggle continues even though the future is doomed Because meliorism is our inspiration Tears in my cheeks A lament of prayer in my heart May God bless this nation, South Africa my home.
