My Struggle(30 / 09 / 2011 / 15h03) . Poem by Koena Mokoena

I rather be a cattle & be slaughtered, before i even speak... /
I will not give up my life even if people try to shoot me with proper
bullets on my chest. /
The aim is to get to know me better, because have i have hope to carry on with
my life. /
I don't forgive & forget... /

I am not a goat, so i don't deserve the grass like i am hungry... /
I hate other religions, because i believe in myself like a human being. /
I say a person who deserve a helping hand, is the one who was taught to confront. /
They will always be treated with respect & dignity, /
because they sacrifice for me too... /
Hence, i will try by all means to secure their aim, objective & vision. /
I want to eradicate poverty, crime, drugs, alcohol, std's, sti's & HIV/AIDS. /

I host mentorship programme, for the young up & coming musicians & poets
in my community. /
I want to see them, being successful in future, by way of using their god-given talents. /
