I Am Human I Am An African I Am A South African Poem by Karel Maans

I Am Human I Am An African I Am A South African



Does my skin makes me not to be respected as human
Does my skin makes me not to be part of a new society
Am i to be blame for the mistakes of the past government
Were i not a child? in those days

Am i not respecting the memories of the fallen brothers and sisters
They who suffered under opression and rejection
They who touch the hearts of many countries affection
Pressing the South African government to stop the racism action
I am human, why hurting me due to the tone of my skin colour

A new freedom has start, a new vision that i thaugt will be mine
Shame; shame on selfish governments,
Shame on those who continue the rebirth of a new democratic apartheid system
I am human, dont blame the tone of my skin colour
I am an african just like you
I am human 100 percent South African a AFRICAN
Flesh and blood
I am human, I am an African, Iam a South African

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I wrote and compiled this poem now today 7/05/2013 and i see it as freedom of expression as my country`s constitution allows citizens this right.We as colored people where not white enough for the apartheid regime and even now in a democratic South Africa we are not regarded as black enough.I hate no one, but the democratic apartheid system must stop.I am human I am an African.This poem was written in cape town
