MADIBA!,
MADIBA!!
YOUR
CHILDREN ARE LOST!
Madiba,Madiba
You’ve been
gone for such a short time
Leaving your
children behind with freedom.
Freedom from
the offensive stench of apartheid
Which made
the prison walls your sanctuary for decades.
You
bequeathed your children a stunning African nation.
One which
most African countries looked up to.
A country
built with the additional sweat and toils of other nationals.
A country
that made other Africans believe
That all is
not lost for the continent.
Madiba, you
made us aware that
‘There was
nothing like the white race or black race
But only the
human race.’
Today, your
children have suddenly forgotten.
They have
forgotten where they came from.
They have
suddenly forgotten who they once cried to
During the
dark days of apartheid in South Africa.
They have cruelly
turned their backs to their fellow Africans.
The same
Zimbaweans, Congolose,Ghanaians,Nigerians & other Africans
Who stood
strong & firm for them in their days of oppression.
They have now
tagged them as ‘FOREIGNERS!’
They are
slaughtering their fellow African brothers in cold blood
Like Chinese chickens
for export.
They want all
‘foreigners’ out of South Africa.
Their fellow
black Africans have become lice in their afro hair.
Amazing!
Did you tell
them what your friend Dr. Kwame Nkrumah told you,
That ‘the
independence of Ghana alone is meaningless
Unless it is
linked up with the total liberation of the African continent’?
Did you
remind them of what their fellow blood brother Lucky Dube said,
That ‘We’re
one people but different colours’?
Did you
inform them of what the legend Bob Marley said,
That Africa
must unite?
What of what
you said to the rest of the world,
That ‘freedom
would be meaningless without security
In the home
and in the streets’?
How about
what you said after your release from jail,
That ‘no one
is born hating another person
Because of
the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion.
People must
learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate,
They can be
taught to love, for love comes more naturally
To the human
heart than the opposite’?
Are they
aware of this?
If they can’t
embrace their fellow black man
How do they
expect to fight racism from the whites?
Your bosom
friend, Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah boldly asserted to the world
That ‘the
BLACK MAN is capable of managing his own affairs’
Is this what
he actually meant?
Xenophobia,
Afrophobia or whatever?
Your children
want to be at par with their fellow whites
How can that
be possible with such animalistic behaviour?
You fought a
great battle for freedom,Madiba.
You built a
wonderful nation with open arms to all Africans.
Unfortunately,
some of your children have opted to be vampires & barbarians
Than South
Africans with brains.
Madiba,Madiba,Madiba,
Your children
do not want you to rest in peace.
They have
completely lost it!
