Here lies a South Africa we all once knew
Here lies someones daughter,mother,sister even niece
Here lies the truth that is due,
Here lies the horrid reality made to come true ,
Here lies a woman to whom a nation was birthed ,

A woman innocent yet cursed,
A woman who from birth was oppressed,
A woman raised to uproot a home,
Somehow always made to feel alone,
A woman made selfless,
A woman now treated worthless,
A woman who in every hour in this South Africa of ours is left breathless

They all lie here amidst us only given praise after death
Tell me now fellow brothers do you care enough to fight and protect?,
To stand up and object?
To cleanse your hands of innocent blood spilt

Over What!?
A body that is mine?
A statement I made?
A lovers quarrel?
Rejecting someones son because they didn't peak my interest?,
Why am I your pawn when you take a shot at incest?,
Why do I have to...
