South Azania Poem by Chip Rice

South Azania

Rating: ★5.0


Hear the cry in the summer,
feet pounding, hands
clapping, voices shouting,
freedom is coming tomorrow.

Blood spills, children squeal,
the police guns aimed to fire,
people fall for no cause,
innocent bodies lay on the
ground, backs torn open, life
ebbing away, freedom is coming
tomorrow.

But how many more must die, before
their cry is heard...FREEDOM IS
COMING TOMORROW.

not sure about that but my brother in Christ Dr. Floyd Sedibe once told me before apartheid ended and Chief Mandela became President of South Africa that the new Azania would either come by peace or by blood I am happy the new South Afrika came by peace!
