I was told that I should write a poem about and I quote 'Our Wonderful Country South Africa'. An interesting subject really with a variety of perceptions. I took the negative perception.
Released from its chains in 1994
Freedom,
could we ask for anymore
But our country has been infested
Guns,drugs rape rape rape.......
Words that push push and push and crush
Do we not all feel dejected
We and our morals are rejected
We stand together hand in hand
Alas corruption rules and shall demand
Our trusts and unions seperated
And a memory of a struggle desecrated
But wait wait please
What of faith, what of hope
Many of us shout to appease
But out words are drowned out
And our voices fill with doubt
We are destroyed and we now burn
And when we douse the flame we are burnt in turn
A paradise we see only in flashes
But perhaps one day we shall rise from the ashes
