Not yet Uhuru.

                                                  Not yet uhuru..

 

In South Africa colonialism shake hands with racism

                        

Nepotism dines with poverty.

Humanity is substituted by timidity thus fulfilled by grief and materialism.

Democracy swallowed suffering,

 

But the flavour must have been strong since 20 years later we still witness the after taste.

This day must mean only one thing to us youth,

If we sit back and pretend to be polishing our pots,

We will cook the pellets of the shinning pot,

The crops are exploited out there...

 

Not yet UhUrU…

"Our revenge shall be the laughter of our children's children..."

[Solar]

A powerful poem!
20 years is a short time to undo the damage of so many many years of colonialism.
But with the will of the youth - hopefully UhUrU will address the imbalance!
