MADIBA!,MADIBA!!, YOUR CHILDREN ARE LOST

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!
