Short Apartheid Poems

Fighting apartheid, hating privilege:
Having "favorites" (?) - thus hating Favor
Until Jesus THE WORD showed me
Anoints His children, any color...

Come to the market of poet
Read, think to be thyself mate
Past to future constitution
Come to earn the wise motion
With love in solicitous veins
Come to break apartheid chains

Political verses

They came and looked.
Assaulted the dwellers
We preferred blindness

The winner robs all
Apartheid normalized
Slowly we see horror

They murder the holly.
That insists on surviving. 
The pure outpace evil....

Desmond Tutu stood for anti-Apartheid
Courageously walked in front as a guide
Will ever be honored as a brave knight
Here in this tomb lies, he, emanating light

Trophy Hunters eradicated lesser one-horned.
Traditional medicine was reasoned then killed.
The colonial era malignant apartheid seized.
Tragic wildlife ranches endangered.
Tremendous Javan Rhinos died.
Tied mud wallow was converted, the game started.
Trapped maggoting man heart wolfed....

May you rise like a Grecian hero, or Abraham's God
My other family weeps for Jerusalem; I murdered my education
Dreams had died under apartheid - I could not afford
The luxury of telling you these truths. Whispers of salvation
Cascaded in mists that promised to restore my Indian Ocean ......

Desmond Tutu raised the moral voice to its height
In dark times showed his countrymen rays of light
Broke the apartheid wall between black and white 
Nobel winner championed causes of human rights.

Breathless
Where apartheid
Kills the rights of human
Loveless life where practice hatred
So-called civilized culture where nurtured
There God is sing role guard
In hunger realm where death
Can live as live
Breathless

Removing the mindset 
of racial segregation
In this nation is in need.
Because we were freed.
But still there is greed.
Selfish indeed
Meaningless elections 
Corruption accepted 
And the amount of mellinin in your skin
Determines your ethnicity
Then ponder which is worse and which is better
The apartheid era
Or the post-apartheid error?...

Above racism, nepotism, communism, sexism,
ambition, pollution, domination, seclusion,
God reigns!

Way above segregation, self-promotion, 
physical illumination, elevation,
apartheid, genocide,  cyanide, religious pride
God abides!

Floating above Coptic, Catholic  politics,
toxic doctrine,  elitist foolishness, 
putrid imaginings,
God in His Omnipotent Majesty reigns!...

I grew up in the Old South Africa

During the Apartheid era

So i know what it means to be racist

But all i see is faces

And judge people solely on what
comes out of them

White is no more right

Than black is supposed to be wrong

The only thing worthy of hate

Is those who hate for no other reason

Than stupid is as stupid does

Be that any colour

Sister or Brother...

By applying policies of apartheid 
Or practising  racial discrimination 
Who want themselves or their clan 
To be seen above than the rest of the world 
People of this globe throw them down 

But the man instead of pulling himself up 
Bring up all in the line of equality 
People of this globe push his stature above 
Much more than the rest of humanity 
Showing for him unprecedented  respect and love....

Your stretched nerves 
move, like a reptile 
in a dance; 
for the evolution of sexuality.

The exodus was a stunt
playing with fire.
I will hide nothing.
I was a cloud within a dot.

Unknowing the fall, I 
seek, the failure, to climb
again on strange words
to find the underlying meaning of pain.

You begin exploring 
the hills after the unexplained 
apartheid, after the bloodbath 
of the golden peacocks.

She’s my beautiful infection,
                  My toxic allure,
         She’s the drug for my suicide.

          She’s stolen my reflection,
             My mind is obscure,
         She’s my rational apartheid.

          I’m her perfect hygiene,
               Her ideal sanitize,
   I’m the only thing to clean her life out.

          I’m her classy and clean,
            Her beautiful surprise,
  I’m her complete utter mental washout....

Always have been a victim of apartheid
How does one feel?
When he is a victim not a victor
When he is ruled not a ruler
No room of his own
No empty space left to exploit
Cannot even sit and think vagabonded
Each minute captured, consumerist
Deprived of freedom, liberty, reconciliation
Democracy buried, only dictatorship
And a suspended inferiority complex.
The scapegoat of cultural sadism
Insanity dawns, humans abandon
A marked, distinguished prison....

And anger 
Is a friend
That the oppressed
Must seize;
A purgative drug
To cleanse and preserve
The knowledge
And indignation
With which they affront
Agglutinated
The excesses of apartheid!

Come! Behold the scars
That those who angered
Seized- arms outstretched
Their spears flaming!

And you who dither
De-ice your souls
With flames of anger;
And un-reason
Will succumb
To reason!

Hail vanguard 
Of our freedom! Hail!

(Poem written for that dark era, happily, now past!)...

Giant of justice has visited Baba Umkulukulu
The lion that gave in to wolves like sheep
To be sheered for our own freedom has died 
Father of the black and white
Mentor and hero of freedom
Our own Madiba has died  
Anti apartheid hero sleeps with grey hair
As we dress in sackcloth to mourn the great Lion
Rolihlahla Son of Thembu has rested 
Though We mourn millions with pain
But for the son of Xhosa
We pray for 
Instead of mourning 
We praise
Praise our own
Rest in peace Mandela...

She has taken her place on the Southern tip of Africa
Out of slavery and wars 
United in the fight, against apartheid
The lady still thrived 
Heading for an ordained disaster, if she listened to the skeptics

Again she rose and amazed the world
Flauntingly hosted the soccer world cup,
Revered for her tenacity with her rainbow nation in tow
In fighting spirit,
Continually using sport as a uniting force 
And not disillusioned about the continual battle against poverty and strife...
