Mandela, Have You Ever Wondered?
Have you ever wondered
As we pick up the dead, heavy
Weight of ugly brutal past
That threatens to suffocate us,
Embarking on Masakhane campaign
Rehumanising sickly-frail street children of the earth
Placing detoured souls under the caring golden sun
That the global village bleeds from money madness?
Have you ever wondered
As we patch centuries-old
Fresh, gaping wounds,
Closing pockmarked cannonhole-ridden
Buildings that once eroded life like ebola
That so many relax in cosy gardens –
In electrific red duvets and make love?
Have you ever wondered
As you scratch your skin
Searching for your uniqueness – your own self
That the triumphant crowd retires to ghettoes?
Have you ever wondered?
