Because i anwser to our children when you're nowhere to be found,
because i provide food with the scraps i was given;
I AM A WOMAN.
Because i am robbed of my privacy because i wont willinglt satisfy you,
because i have to accept htat i am no-longer a priority for i now have a fat belly;
I AM A SOUTH AFRICAN.
Because for my children i am forced to be your slave; restricted to household duties,
Because I am forced to tolerate your inappropriate behaviour a you get home late from the pub
I AM BLACK
Because I do what I have to, but not what I want to;
I AM A BLACK SOUTH AFRICAN WOMAN
So sad and full of pathos, I have such deep feelings for the tragedy that you have to endure. May God bless you. I rate this masterpiece a ten.
