APARTHEID´S BOY:



Nigger boy, kaffir face, black being,
Generation of tears, parched repression,
Running down dusty waterless skin, eyes without seeing.

Steel thoughts invade your slave-beaten brain,
Vendetta, aggression, restriction in store,
Oh God, to break grips of this daisy-white chain.

Who do I see in my country-contra-black, why do we hate?
An octopus, tentacles crushing any normal feeling,
Not in the Koran, Torah nor Bible do we find apartheid.

Is it wrong Lord to pray for vengeance, is it so very wrong?
To pray for freedom for a whole people, a nation?
They, who have souls of black, have skin of white leather strong.

In the future of my people, I see blood tears flow,
Can it not be different, can we not meld & mend?
To throw upon earth, differences for the wind to blow.
