We keep on focussing on the WHITE and the BLACK and who has "what" and
"what not" in our nation. When are we going to stop looking at colour and decide as a
nation what we are going to do about our problems together? PROBABLY NEVER!!! I say never because our leadership, opposition
parties, media, friends, family and neighbours keep on stuffing all
things WHITE and BLACK down our throats! How can we function as ONE when our focus and attention remains on all of that which separates us?
"See, It's Not About Races
Just Places
Faces
Where Your Blood
Comes From
Is Where Your Space Is
I've Seen The Bright
Get Duller
I'm Not Going To Spend
My Life Being A Color"
I am sure most of you recognise these words sung by Michael Jackson. I don't give a shit what your opinion is regarding Michael Jackson, but I DO give a shit about our nation and our country! I see it being run to the ground by our politicians. I see no solutions being formalised. I also fear that not so long from now our entire country will be poverty stricken. I feel like I have no control over what is happening and there is nothing I can do to fix it or help steer it in the right direction. It is as if that little cross I make every 5 years has no significance regardless of it's importance. . .
BUT. . .
I am NOT going to run away
I am NOT going to give up
I am NOT going to stop loving this country
I am NOT going to stop loving YOU my fellow SAFFA
