They have now gone far too far, So many names they have called me and many a time, A multiplicity of a multiplicity of names, Time and again, I have ignored, Forgive them Lord, for they know not what they say, I believed, No matter how demeaning and painful the names, At one time I was called a dog and others, At the other, pig and others, And now, Trash. I refuse to be associated with savagery, I refuse to be associated with downright human life disrespect I refuse to be associated with ****** I refuse to be associated with blatant inhumanness, I refuse to be associated with Donovan Moodley or Patrick Wisani, I refuse to be associated with Shrien Dewani or William Nkuna, I refuse to be associated with Sandile Mantsoe or Oscar Pistorius, I refuse to be associated with Jacobus Oosthuizen or any of such Satanic barbarians, I refuse. Judge me for what I have or have not done, Not for what Sandile has or has not done, They are sick, they are crazy, They are dramatic and narrow-minded, Seeing me for what William Nkuna and the others are, Indeed, they are what they are, Brutal, inhuman and diabolic, Barbaric, heartless and savage, But I am neither either of them nor trash, I am a man and a very proud one, I am a man and very proud to be one, Was yesterday, am today and will be tomorrow, Despite where their reckless utterances deposit me, Despite their misguided and narrow-minded judgements, I am a responsible and caring man, I am not trash, Never was, And never will ever be.

I ain't trash
They have now gone far too far, So many names they have called me and many a time, A multiplicity of a multiplicity of names, Time and again, I have ignored, Forgive them Lord, for they know not what they say, I believed, No matter how demeaning and painful the names, At one time I was called a dog and others, At the other, pig and others, And now, Trash. I refuse to be associated with savagery, I refuse to be associated with downright human life disrespect I refuse to be associated with ****** I refuse to be associated with blatant inhumanness, I refuse to be associated with Donovan Moodley or Patrick Wisani, I refuse to be associated with Shrien Dewani or William Nkuna, I refuse to be associated with Sandile Mantsoe or Oscar Pistorius, I refuse to be associated with Jacobus Oosthuizen or any of such Satanic barbarians, I refuse. Judge me for what I have or have not done, Not for what Sandile has or has not done, They are sick, they are crazy, They are dramatic and narrow-minded, Seeing me for what William Nkuna and the others are, Indeed, they are what they are, Brutal, inhuman and diabolic, Barbaric, heartless and savage, But I am neither either of them nor trash, I am a man and a very proud one, I am a man and very proud to be one, Was yesterday, am today and will be tomorrow, Despite where their reckless utterances deposit me, Despite their misguided and narrow-minded judgements, I am a responsible and caring man, I am not trash, Never was, And never will ever be.
