South Africa
South Africa what have you become?
A land that deprived her people of her beauty,
Have you been raped through colonization that you have forgotten your roots?
Your children are crying,
Breast feed them with your milk,
Pass on the knowledge that your mother, Africa, taught you
Stop whoring yourself to other countries,
Look at you now,
Laying in the gutters,
Your babies killing one another,
Stop them before you left with none,
South Africa, you were once known as the Diamond everyone lusted to have ,
Now you are the diamond that everyone has had,
Passed down from one man to another,
Stop and turn around,
‘cause the path you are on now is leading to a mass destruction,
Go back to your beautiful homeland,
Your ancestors are waiting for you,
Stop your childish ways and become the woman you supposed to be,
And your children will follow you.
