What Has Become of This Nation

What has become of this nation?
Where did Ubuntu spirit go?
Allow me to speak for women
Whose lives are not at peace 
because of us men
Whose rights are not respected 
Whose dignity is taken for granted 
What really has become of this nation
usually called a rainbow nation
What happened to respecting her 
when she says to you NO
Where did African good men go
What went wrong Africa
Are we no longer one nation
That used to encourage 
the future generation
Rapists we have become 
Murderers we have become 
No longer are we brothers to our sisters
No longer are we fathers to our daughters
What has become of this nation
Africa arise
Before the whole world dies
Stop this killing 
The devil is winning
also gaining
Yet we are losing
Oh God take control 
Before we lose it all
Before we all fall
to sin.
Again I ask
What has become of this nation?
