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.
