Our colour is as one. Our genes are African, as brother and sister When our leaders were beaten, we seeked refuge and you were there for certain. Your patience was humble, your generousity was king You offered food Indeed you offered protection You might be a South African. You need not speak Zulu, if you are Venda. You need not speak Zulu, if you are Shangaan. You need not express yourself in my language. for I am not pressured to speak your language. Zulu is by far not the only South African language You need not be born here, however you are one with me. I have no right to beat you and not because you do not beat my mother, brother or sister. I have no right to call you names, for you are one with me. Yes, you might be dark in complexion Yes, you might have foreign looks and yes, you might have the foreigner’s body structure. So now that I have beaten you, where will home be? Times were, when every black man needed an ID to be, and the white man had it better that way. Now I, your black brother have turned my back against you. I have forgotten that the future without consideration of history is as bleak and dark as the history we fought. I am not better than you. And unemployment is another kind of many struggles we need to fight. You are not any less human. I have forgotten that the spirit of Ubuntu has interwoven us into the very fabric that makes us Vendas, Batswana, Basotho, Ndebeles, Xhosas and Swatis and more This may be ignorance, however without justification, it may also be the lack of education to reason. My unemployment is my responsibility, however so, I need guidance. The guidance out of this alienating environment, the guidance towards light, to be brought out of the social conditions in which I live, for living below 2 U.S. Dollars a day makes me feel less human. Without justification of my inhumane actions I am sorry I beat you. Before 94’ I fought a battle, now I fight another one, only the difference is: The enemy is myself. I need not blame you before I come to realize this. For what it's worth How can you apologize towards your birth place? How can you apologize for the languages you speak? How can you apologize for being who you are? The intention of your “cry” has pierced my conscience and the ones of many. However be prepared to stand taller for you need to be heard.

You might not be South African

and indeed you are black, your skin is as mine.
Our colour is as one.
Our genes are African, as brother and sister
When our leaders were beaten, we seeked refuge
and you were there for certain.
Your patience was humble,
your generousity was king
You offered food
Indeed you offered protection
You might be a South African.

You need not speak Zulu, if you are Venda.
You need not speak Zulu, if you are Shangaan.
You need not express yourself in my language.
for I am not pressured to speak your language.
Zulu is by far not the only South African language
You need not be born here, however you are one with me.

I have no right to beat you
and not because you do not beat my mother, brother or sister.
I have no right to call you names, for you are one with me.

Yes, you might be dark in complexion

Yes, you might have foreign looks
and yes, you might have the foreigner’s body structure.
So now that I have beaten you, where will home be?
Times were, when every black man needed an ID to be,
and the white man had it better that way.
Now I, your black brother have turned my back against you.

I have forgotten that the future without consideration of history
is as bleak and dark as the history we fought.

I am not better than you.
And unemployment is another kind of many struggles we need to fight.
You are not any less human.
I have forgotten that the spirit of Ubuntu has interwoven us into the
very fabric that makes us Vendas, Batswana, Basotho, Ndebeles, Xhosas
and Swatis and more

This may be ignorance, however without justification, it may also
be the lack of education to reason.

My unemployment is my responsibility,
however so, I need guidance.
The guidance out of this alienating environment,
the guidance towards light, to be
brought out of the social conditions in which I live,
for living below 2 U.S. Dollars a day makes me feel less human.
Without justification of my inhumane actions I am sorry I beat you.

Before 94’ I fought a battle,
now I fight another one, only the difference is:
The enemy is myself.
I need not blame you before I come to realize this.

For what it’s worth

How can you apologize towards your birth place?
How can you apologize for the languages you speak?
How can you apologize for being who you are?
The intention of your “cry” has pierced my conscience
and the ones of many. However be prepared to stand
taller for you need to be heard.

I have forgotten the spirit of Ubuntu, for my South Africa is
your South Africa too, & I still am because we are.

Im a young African that is now living very far away from my origins. I might not be black, but i grew up in a black society, and in some ways i consider myself more black than many Africans.

Is it not hard to work at low rank jobs, though i know i could be doing something much better in my land although gaining smaller amounts?
