Why shoot him?

Don't kill them
Dont shoot them
Kill the fees
Shoot the privileged education

let it be a right
let the african child walk into realms of knowledge
unhindered by the apartheid conceived wickedness

Why should a back child go to prison
for him to receive free education
Why should he be incarcerated for him to find work

He is not a killer
He is not a thief
He is a beggar

On the streets
begging for a free education

Why shoot him?

Nothing

Its a jungle
A make believe world
In a mute pursuit for Nothing

Don't tell
Don't touch
Don't ask
There is no answers

Go find a heart
Nothing remains
When curtains close
In the theatre of minds

Not the shadow called yesterday
Nor whatever




Just a child(Kanga)

Don't violate her she is just a child,
wrapped in a Kanga of innocence.
When with warmth she looks at you,
It is a father she longed for, that she sees.
Don't violate her she is just a child.
Don't give her to the vultures.
Disowned by her own, she is not a woman.
Violated by her father, she is not his child.
Even as she remains a shadow,
don't give her to vultures;
She has stood against all odds.
Saw streets burning to burn her
and reduce her anguish to polemics
She is gone.
