SILENCED

Because this is my existance
Not to offend anyone, but i am refusing to be sworn to silence any longer
by accusations that i should get over apartheid, it ended over a decade ago
and yet still today i must limit my speech and turn a blind eye to the prejudice i see and live

Because this is my existance
Not to offend anyone, but i am refusing to be sworn to silence any longer
when i can see and feel that you have an attitude against the colour of my skin
that privileges are held back for those of a different shade

Because this is my existance
Not to offend anyone, but i am refusing to be sworn to silence any longer
when i see humans turn against humans
when greed would cut off a hand

i am not against any race nor am i for any race
i am for human kind
the things i voice are not my unforgiven history
they are my now and so
I speak against: 

LIES
CORRUPTION

HATRED

RAPE

GENOCIDE

KILLINGS

PREJUDICE

POVERTY

PAIN

LACK OF EMPATHY

GREED

...etc

because this is my UNWANTED UNACCEPTED existance!
