Mickey Mouse Poem by Siyabonga A Nxumalo

You make me cry! I cry tears of useless sorrow for our country.And you're marvelous my brother! You carry out the task of the poet-artist-sooth sayer-social critic-healer with amazing truthfulness! I value your contribution like the breath that I breath.Wonderful poem.Thank you home boy

All people are free in mind, heart and spirit. But to put true freedom into a working political system has hamstringed us from the beginning. Very powerful writing.

Saze sanzima isikhathi esiphila kuso. Kuyoze kulunge kodwa....

A gr8 poem usin disney title. Hardhitting too.

Exactly, this is a mickey mouse freedom.. More or less every one is facing such issues... we have honor killings in our country... tollgates... we have a never ending list... You have selected a very nice topic... I wish this awareness spreads and we see human standing for humans and not people standing with guns... A wonderful poem Siya...

Thanks for the poem. I think it's wonderful that such truthful scenes are make aware, and people need to become aware of this more frequently. We live in a country where such things are happening on a daily basis, so we somehow become numb from all the atrocity! Man is condemned to be free, because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does. Little do people realize that freedom comes with great responsibility, we cannot be truly free, otherwise there's nothing stopping the neighbors from beating me and taking my house. Sadly, people are comfortable with seeing thousands die, in the name of freedom, but go completely up in arms when hearing of one death in the name of oppression. Evidently, society's judgement is impaired. Thanks for your vivid poem bro, I'm touched! Awareness is key!

Brother, please don't cry only for your land, cry loud for all of us! Such things happens worldwide, more or less violent, a vote to guaratee the safety of every human being is yet to happen...
