Where Did We Go Wrong

Shovels,blue overalls and head lamps. They dug the golds fields to feed our our hungry stomachs,they carried the Dompas to free our future,they took beatings for our emancipation,but did they plant good seeds in our brains? Did they instill education in our hearts? We stick gold plates on our teeth to show monetary muscle We dig our father's pockets to fend for our families and we are labelled gold diggers. Were the lights at the end of the tunnel chandeliers on the ceiling of the Summit club? Did our dreams slide downhill like a pole dancer? Is the corporate leader a way to step on the backs of a kneeling cleaner? Shining crystals all looked the same,we took the mirror and gave away the diamond,we gave away our herd of cattle but now we are fed a load of wild Bull and a lot of Ass. We took away the buffalo from our national money,we boasted of millions to bid for the same buffalo and now the same buffalo ends on our plates at dinner time. We placed Madiba on the Randelas only for the Mandelas to fight for the millions. 27 years fight to freedom,a few years into democracy, but an eternal scar of poverty. We recalled the smoke pipe that was bringing fire to the cold land and inducted the shower head that only bring storms of conspiracy,strikes and skimpy dancers. Did we go wrong anywhere or am I just an ignorant youth?
