Cry of the Khoisan

Where is your home, oh child of the San ?
Scattered lie your seed...indiscriminate, across the promised land.
Children of the earth, - so proclaimed by your Mother's colour...
Close to your breathing roots...yet, disowned by your native brother !
Where do you lay your head to rest, oh weary Khoi ?
Child who once expertly tracked the innermost secrets,
buried in obscurity of your Mama Afrika 's bosom -
Have you sold your undeniable stake to travellers of a foreign sand...,
Trembled you at sophisticated apparel and loud, thunderous metal ?
Where do you stand today as you gaze at your homeland, oh Khoisan ?
Acknowledge your inheritance...,nought acres owned by you-
Instead, you grow your crops and your spawn as a trespasser on another's lawn.
You have even lost your name -, identified as "coloured", for so long -
By comparison - not unlike a multi- used, diminishing pencil or wax crayon !
Oh...,when will you awake, Brown Child of Africa -
When..,to rise and take back your own...
Proud claimant of your forgotten birthright ?!!
