In Apartheid he was beaten
Told he wasn’t human
You can guess how he was treated
He didn’t have the power
What was he to do man?
He told me this childhood story
Of what they had him thinking…
He walked up to a white man’s shit
And if it wasn’t stinking
He would taste it
Told it was like honey
Shows what haters do
with money,
And power.
They didn’t let him shower.
They took his friends and beat them,
For doing nothing wrong
This went on for far to long
how can we let em
turn rich country into nothing
raped the land of precious resources
held the people down, with white power forces
guns and tanks, with European sources.
Torture victims scarred for life,
They killed her husband and his wife.
The children grow up broken
Their parents were hung choking
Boiling water enemas
And no one stopped to say
HEY!!!
What you doin there?
Acid may cut hair
But it also burns ya!
And now I meet this great man
Who suffered through it all
And now I meet this great man
Who saw this evil fall
And now I meet this great man
Who turned from hate to heavens call.
****this is about a preacher i met once, who was from south africa, and basically all these things are things he spoke about... about how horrible it was... but also how important it is to forgive and make things better*****
