It Is Moment Like This Poem by Lekau Mamabolo

It is moment like this,
That makes nations sink or rise,
That makes people forget who they are,
Makes lions surrender their pride,
And go hiding;
It is moment like this,
That makes children dreams fade away,
That makes dolphins give up swimming,
Wolves to wail day and night,
That we see happiness dwindling away;
It is moment like this,
That we see world's compassion dying,
That humanity is trapped in the midst of afflictions,
That we see tears of broken hearts filling oceans;
It is moment like this,
That perpetuates hope forbidden concept,
Love turning into outcast,
And sorrow becoming stalker;
Yet it is moment like this,
That needs humanity to rise to sink no more,
Stand together calling for heavenly light,
And make prayer ultimate weapon;
Yes it is moment like this,
That should make us ask the Creator to lead the way,
For there is always hope in God,
God's compassion is ever present
