Shame On Us
No explanation would ever
justify the violence - the brutality;
no apology condone the killing
of people - refugees, neighbours.
Shame on us!
Steve Biko,
Hector Petersen,
Nelson Mandela,
we betray, disgrace and disappoint you.
Shame on us!
Africa and Mother Earth,
your children should seek and find refuge and bread -
not hatred and death
in Soweto, Diepsloot, in Alexandra
today and always!
Young and old, forget not:
Our heritage - our young democracy -
commits us to ubuntu - genuine humanity -
in word and deed
today and always!
