Do You See What I See Poem by Boipelo Madumo

Do you see what I see?
Do you see injustice free to roam our streets?
How sweetly its bitter taste greets you each waking day
Do you see how death creeps?
You’ll find it waiting patiently for a chance to meet
Do you see the world dying?
Or are you still desperately clinging on to your denial
Do you hear what I hear?
Do you hear pain and violence?
They pierce so loudly and yet the world wants you to be silent
Hush.. hush...hush
Bite your tongue, shut your eyes, and cover your innocent ears
Shy away from such talk, you did not see, you did not hear
It’s just a cruel unjustified illusion,
A nightmare that will surely come to a conclusion
So you think, So you say, so you believe
