Tshwane Hey Pretoria Why

Tshwane WHY?

Tshwane residents act right, you are not presidents....
its by default i utter the norms and values of a black community
we are presidents in our own thoughts but we fail to rule our own homes
its by accident that i step into thoughts that search those who are at fault.
the indecency that walks with us remains the same when we fancy things that don't belong to us,
God have mercy on us  for we don't know what is it that poverty is doing to us.
i privately seek your help in your name , i create awareness to the blackness of their wilderness that has nothing to do with your pureness of your glory!!!
i'm black not because of situations that needs decorations.... but to what extend are we going to be blinded by blunders of those who don't know your law...OH LORD  know me now and forever more because this foreign feeling  sits me down to undo what they are doing
NO MAYOR can make you feel good about yourself or make you a better person
do we drink from the blood that is shared unnecessary? because if that is the case lets kill each other now because we don't value life and each other.....
