Poems
Jun 2016
A slavery of our own making
Are we born free?
Or are we
Born into a slavery
Of our own making?
Is playing politics
To win an argument
And propel the self
Into society’s spotlight
An act of greatness?
The debate may have concluded
But reality remains
‘Go back to where you come from!’
Is that the victory cry
Our nation yearns for?
Are we born free?
Or are we
Born into a slavery
Of our own creation?
Sometimes I just don’t know
My country anymore
And it shames me
To call it home
So for now
Another rallying cry
Love
Share
Co-operate
Give
Live
Together
Harmoniously
Love
Love!
