was there ever freedom?

wendy-maqwazima Poems

This isn't the freedom I want to call freedom... because this freedom isn't the freedom our great freedom fighters died for in the Years of apartheid. This freedom is not the same freedom the generation of 1985 wished for and and dreamed of... freedom died along with our long gone heroes,Nelson Mandela, Walter susilu and Solomon.it died with our young brothers and sisters in sharpville! it isn't freedom if we are still afraid to walk out of our houses at 6am it is not freedom if we can't let go of what the white men did to our black men and woman this freedom isn't the freedom defined in Oxford dictionaries.... children are free to smoke men are free to **** woman are free sell their bodies and we yet we are free? this freedom isn't free! we are not free because we are racist we are selfish we are foolish we lack knowledge and we are full of ignorance! we are not free,this isn't the time to celebrate freedom but to fight for the freedom we've lost. -27thApril2016.
