WHERE ARE TRUE Africans? By SIYANDA KHUMALO

EVERYNIGHT BEFORE I SLEEP.
I ASK MYSELF THIS SAD QUESTION.
BUT STILL I DON’T GET  THE ANSWER
STILL I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY?
PEOPLE ARE LIKE STEEL, WHO STOLE THE ROOTS INSTILLED?
DARKNESS CAME AND MISLED THE NATION, THE ENTIRE GENERATION.
DULLNESS DEFLECTED OUR AFRICAN DREAMS.
WHAT IS HAPPENING AROUND OUR COUNTRY?
LET’S CRAWL BACK TO OUR CUSTOMS.
WHERE ARE TRUE AFRICANS?

A.N.C HAS BEEN PREACHING T.L.C.
BUT DO YOU SEE THAT WE DON’T LISTEN.
WHERE DID WE LOOSE THE AFRICAN SEED? THIS SO SICK!
RESPECT, LOVE, PASSION AND CARE
WHERE IS THAT VISION OF GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY? WHERE ARE VIGIRNS?
KINDNESS THAT BROUGHT HOPE TO OUR PEOPLE IS GONE.
HAPPINESS THAT INSPIRED AFRICANS IS NOLONGER.
WE ARE DYING, DAILY DROWNING IN TO THE TEARS OF SADNESS.
WE KEEP PUSHING OUR FUTURE DOWN THE LADDER DAY BY DAY.
MY FELLOW AFRICANS! WHERE ARE AFRICANS?

AFRICANS THAT CAN STAND AND FIGHT FOR JUSTICE, JUST IMAGINE.
AFRICANS THAT ARE ALWAYS SEEKING FOR PEACE, PEACE MY BROTHER.
AFRICANS THAT CAN HELP AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE, DIFFERENCE MY SISTER.
AFRICANS THAT CAN GIVE VALUE TO THEIRE CULTURES, CULTURES MY AFRICANS.
AFRICANS THAT ARE NOT AFRICANS JUST BECAUSE THEY LIVE IN AFRICA, TRUE AFRICANS MY AFRICANS.
WHERE ARE THOSE AFRICANS?

SOMEBODY GIVE ME THE ANSWER!!!
