The made us who we are
By Kgosana Moeketsi Why steal from them if they give us everything Why kill them if they're the ones who gave us life Why terrorize them if they kept us safe since birth Why are they not safe even when in their homes Why do we not realize that it is our turn Our turn to take care of them Our turn to stop abusing them Our turn to say no to their killings Our turn to be urged to take charge Be urged to protect the kind that gave you life Be urged to be a good example for your son or pals Be urged not leave a void in someone's heart Let us protect them, let us love them They are our mothers, our sisters
