Why Africa

Why Africa Africa is yet again up in arms And the host nation is South Africa this time Africans, open your eyes and see After these attacks what will we benefit Xenophobia is like pus The wound that is resistant to healing Xenophobia is like mushrooms Popping whenever a thunder of ignorance strikes What did we mean when we jointly said We, the people of South Africa Declare for all our country and the world to know that South Africa belongs to all who live in it, black and White! In June 26 1955 a word went forth The Kliptown word echoed through the globe From that day on, South Africa’s mission Was to accommodate all those who dwell in it Now we are turning our backs to the world Where our wealth is coming from We have turned our nectar’s wealth into a doormat Wiping our bloody hands with Freedom charter! Can we really hide behind poverty And blame foreign nationals for taking all our bread Where else we struggle to make earns meat Due to hand out attitude we adopted after apartheid Our authorities has done well to appease sins of the past They gave free education, social grants to name few Other things can be free but we need to realize that Self support requires hard work and innovation My fellow brothers and sisters, Africans! Resist ideologies that torn us apart And employ neutrality to embrace other nationalities Shun xenophobia and learn from one another.
