Happy Freedom Day, In South Africa

Freedom was preached, 
Millions of South Africans waited,
Waiting for many years.
The regime was very
Hash to  some folks, 
And privileged the minority.
Disadvantaged people 
Cried yearly, 
No one cared for them, 
Discrimination and racism 
Were the major problem 
In the entire South Africa.
More black people were 
Tortured,
Shot,
Chopped,
Arrested, 
 Hung innocently.
Some freedom fighters 
Were put behind bars 
Due to fighting
For their rights.
The way was long
To reach freedom. 
Bright sun, moon and 
Stars appeared,  
The day and night 
Were so bright. 
Time for forgiveness 
Which was called
" National Reparation."
Some wounds could be healed, 
And damage fixed.
Some prisoners were released,  
Peace and love reigned, 
Rainbow nation 
Was born, 
And 
Apartheid died.
Millions of people sung," freedom"
Because they were now free to do things
They could not do from
Many years.
