What Have They Done? Poem by hopewell syprien

What Have They Done?



why we abused them?
why we rape them?
why we beat them?
what have they done?

they are our kids.
they are our own production.
they are innocent.
they are blessing from God.

they should trust us, not become enemies to them.
they shouldn't become victims to us.
we have to protect them.
we must show them love.

What have they done to deserve such a pain, torture, suffering?
Imagine a 40 year old man rape his own daughter.
A three weeks little angel, innocent little happy creature.
we took they gifts from them.
they take us as fathers, uncles, brothers,
Oh, Oh, what do we do to them, we give them pain loss of confidence.

What have they done?
What does the Freedom Charter says about this?
I feel bad, because I'm a man too.
Just wish not to grow nd become one of them.
