The Times of No Pound
APARTHEID REGIME IS LONG PAST
BLACK SOUTH AFRICAN WOMAN SUFFERED DEARLY UNDER OPPRESSION
SHE GOT LIBERATED IN 1994 OR SHOULD I SAY SHE GOT POLITICALLY LIBERATED
WHEN WE CAST OUR FIRST VOTES WHICH LET TO THE INAUGURATION OF THE FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT NELSON MANDELA
HOWEVER,BEING LIBERATED ONLY MEANT DEMOCRATICALLY
TO THIS DAY,WE STILL NOT LIBERATED FROM THE SHACKLES OF DISEASE WHICH HAS CLAIMED THE LIVES OF SO MANY AND STILL CONTINUES TO DEVASTATE FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES AT LARGE
INTIMACY HAS BEEN ENGULFED WITH SO MANY BOUNDARIES
FEAR HAS BEEN INSTILLED IN EACH AND EVERYONE OF US
YOU CANT HELP WONDERING IF TOMORROW ,YOU WILL BE THE ONE OF THE CASUALTIES OF THE ENORMOUS MONSTER WITHIN US AND SUBSEQUENTLY A STATISTIC
YOU LOOK YOUR CHILDREN IN THEIR EYES
THE ONLY THING YOU CAN DO IS PRAY AND LIVE FOR THE MOMENT
THE REST YOU LEAVE IT IN GODS HANDS
INDEED ,WE ARE LIVING IN THE TIMES OF NO POUND AT ALL
