Xenophobia

The stink of color portraits self hate
Xenophobia a pestilence growing stronger everyday
Africa Against itself in every possible way
I curse the womb of mother Africa for her children stand as divided
Rainbow nation is a lie that got  us blinded
If not practiced by those who remain single track minded
White nor black, to primitives ways we are not going there
Cut I'll bleed, we have but a moment why spend it on greed
Like Kane and Abel we've turned against each other will we ever be at peace?
Given no sign for cause
We stain this beautiful land with wars
Blood of our fallen brothers and sisters burn in the sky
I stand for unity and abolish pride
In the dawn of the night I hear mother Africa cry
I hear a Shot in the dark another son of Africa die

Author's Note
The history of South Africa has always been written in blood in 2008 and 2012 we experienced xenophobia... Black against black.... Please note the video of this poem is too graphic
