Hey Apartheid! ! Poem by Ellias Anderson Jr.

Hey Apartheid! !

Rating: 4.5


Please look at these scenes and act,
Destroy the causer of discrimination in fact,
Hey Apartheid!

Please look at their hands of labor,
You don't care even about your neighbor,
Hey Apartheid!

Enough of that. At least see their corpse,
See their dead dreams and hopes,
Hey Apartheid! !

It seems you don't have time or you don't have eyes,
Please! Don't close your eyes on your own lies,
Hey Apartheid!

We don't believe that you were blind,
Unless you are given the noble prize, you aren't kind,
Hey Apartheid! !

Every Black night has an end,
We will try hard, it's our power we send,
Hey Apartheid…Good bye……

A nice poem on freedom seeking the furtherance of universal brotherhood of Man. Apartheid is an evil system designed by man to perpetuate man inhumanity to man. I like the articulation of the story, lovely poem indeed. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
