Poem -

god bless and protect South Africa

How do we escape death?

How do we allow so many to die when flowers bloom;

Maybe it's time we realize that they bloom for us not to smell,but for us to use them to make our bed of roses where we will rest.

Since we all dying young and fast.

What has fallen upon South Africa;

How come a small peaceful country have such a big gap of life?

We keep our heads held up close to our shoulders and tell ourselves that it will be better in time.

But with every crying rooster in the morning a life is lost.

​​​​​​Although we keep saying" lucky are those who die and get buried"

We still feel the pain as it comes.

South Africa might have lost lost its traditional paths and maybe we have sinned to deserve death.

But god bless and Protect South Africa.

Unlike trees that are not well watered,we shouldn`t die like this.

Everytime we close our eyes we worry we might not open them again.

Death came to us like a sleep which we all seem to enjoy.

Its like we are a dust that's easily washed away by showers.

We dying young and fast;

Tiktok,Tiktok we waiting to die with evry second that passes.

But god bless and protect South Africa
