Chapter 1
1. THE UGLY MONSTER
I MIGHT NOT BE A SOUTH African,
But I am an African.
I might not be an African,
But I am a human being.
The Centre of it all is the blood,
I mean the same blood.
I might not speak your language,
You might not speak my language too,
I might have my own religion,
The Centre of it all understands.
Home sweet home, the sweetest language
Enjoyed by families in their homes,
Who then can neglect his birth place for sweet?
Why some people are called amakwerekwere,
Why others are called amagrigamba
The Centre of it all is embracing and
Appreciating our differences.
Yesterday it was apartheid over blacks and whites,
Today it’s black to black violence,
A black killing a black under the foolish umbrella of foreigners
The Centre of it all is humanity.
We may have our different agendas in life,
We have different opinions,
Different cultures and traditions,
Different colors and different languages,
But in God’s eyes we are ONE
2. SPEARS IN MY HEART
"GROW UP MY CHILD YOU will see it’’
"Grow old my child, you will see it,’’
My granny used to say such words
My mother will always spit such sour words
When I ask them the meaning
Neither of them explained
They both sing in one chorus
It is a taboo to question elders.
Yes I was grown when I experience spears in my heart I lost a brother in two illnesses
I couldn’t understand, my heart was stubbed
