»Yondering mind«

by Absai Gamariel

Forgive this my people
It's the kick of a toddler
Full of sound and fury
But to little effect

Wonder I how Africans are are Africans in Africa
Land of plenty of wealth
How can we be a people of extremes
Dark, poor, dull, rich in resouces
As they would say...poor at home and dull at school

Heard that Uncle JZ -of the south-
Is excelling well as the world's
Dundest bull siring kids all over
Yet in the North Uncle Bob kills
Them all over, lice, like on a prison blanket

Have you wondered why South Africans hate "kwere kweres"
Why Zimbabweans hate "Mabhunu"
Tswanas-Botswana hate "MaZezuru"
Hope reader you notice the common factor -all foreigners.

The world cup came and went
The hype came and died
The vibe all blown away
Well done Mzansi -Job well done!
Whose world cup was it?
South Africa's or Africa's?

Who is JM in Mzansi politics?
Where derives he his power?
Has steel of balls say I
Good lessons from the North?
Ever since the last visit?

There are dogs and handlers in the world
There puppets and puppetiers in the world
There are screws and screw drivers in the world
What are you?
