Young Man


Alone set a young man under the dark clouds, lost his culture,

 Drenched into confusion, blanched in a poisonous struggle,

Eskom left his sights in a contaminated city. Fed with “mariwana”, the system

Groomed his consciousness with lies and corruption where coin dictates a soul.

 

Wake up young man. You missing out in action. Stop trading with your future,

Make yours count for pyramids, let your curiosity evolve your faith into a believe,

 Thy believe shall turn you into a mad man, madness shall drive you into light,

And brightness shall cleanse your vision, and your wisdom shall cure your world.
