Why did they fought? Matching down the streets and got arrested by the police.
Running for their lives, receiving bullets like births being haunt. Crying their
eyes out without sleep nor food to put on their tables. Having sleepless nights
with theiry eyes opened, without the hope of living to tell the tale and no where
to hide or report because they will be killed. And you to be free!.Mandela had the
hope and faith. He fought for his nation
to be free. Put everyone's lifes before his, he thought of us before him. He didn't
even ask for our respect or forced us to bow down when he came out of prison.
He didn't used his power to order or abuse using order to return his suffering in
jail when he served the sentence.

Why did they fought? So today we can turn what they fought for into disgrace.
It hurts to see the people called leaders fight instead of guiding or teaching us the
morals and regulations of our country. The value of life, the meaning of freedom
without wasting what our people sacrificed for us to live. Being burnt like useless
trash In the fields.Do they fought, so we can destroy one anothers future? Make
other people's life's a living hell. I dont know if it was a freedom murder or what
but it hurts seeing people out there burning more than twelve schools within a
month that took years to built.

I'm still thinking about where will the kids be, in the streets smoking drugs or
selling their bodies to survive because they were robbed the chance to go to
school by the same parents who say they want them to prosper. Where are they
now? Thinking how to rob a bank because their only chance to make money
was to study and become someone in life. Only because of crazy monkeys
hoovering around the streets destroying their dreams. Will you be happy? Seeing south
Africa being corrupt or destroyed because today we decided to burn schools. How does
it feels 'ma Afrika!'?

Why doesn't it touch our hearts? when we lift those rocks trowing them in windows.
Matching down the streets destroying everything built by the government. The
same money took as a tax to our beloved one's waking up each and every day. Working
their best to put bread on the table and pay the same tax to help in our country. The
tax that should have been the last need to pay their rents, finish paying their cars,
pay hospital bills and take their families out for fun. The tax that we burn being taken
each and every month, and today they have to take loans, have debts than using that
same tax we burn down like cents.

We all want mansions, latest cars and live fancy life. How will we do that? If we still
look down on others. Burn their only hope to live that life. What 'maAfrika!'?
Instead of giving our best, proove our intelligence and honor. We curse on one another,
Kill each other instead of helping each other to succeed.Afrika! Afrika!
