dare to take ownership of the truth

internet - the globe and mail

what is it about truth that makes us pick on those that speak it?
does it jab at our weakness, our truths embarrassing, and telling of failures we wish not to face?
we wish not to take ownership of?

we wish to lay at the doorstep of others and play the blame game until forever eternal?
what is it in those words of truth that instill anger and defiance defining the history of Africa .
be there not a will , a courage, a pride in the people that we are?

do we define ourselves in black and white, indian and coloured?
is that all we are?

sickness prevails...

spiritually.
physically.
mentally.

is our aspiration to be a rubbish dump of humanity?

the little that is left to further destroy?
a poverty taking away hope?
what is it that has taken away our right to be the best citizens of our land?

look to the politicians ...preaching segregation
harpoons loaded with hatred , a record stuck in time
making our thoughts subservient to lies and deceit
while they live in palatial splendour worthy of kingpins of a gangster society.
and u want to follow them???
dare to follow them and claim loyalty to what?
the rise and spread of degradation, degeneration a splurge of
minimising eduction,
...mass inequality.

what a fucking lie that those in power know not of the rot and stench and nibbling rats on babies toes!
what a fucking lie that they believe they have given their best!

sit down with yourself and have the courage to be truthful
dear Africa... sit down with yourself
and dare to ask yourself...
why has the world forgotten u?
why are u so easily raped of dignity?

...because u care not to take ownership of the truth.
