I have people telling me, /
to give up literacy /
behind the scenes... /
They claim i humiliate them. /
The blacks i think i am better... /
The whites i am using their things... /
So, i am trying to be like them... /
but you can't touch, /
except to see them... /
Before i used to write /
without anyone to tell me /
what to do... /
Hence, i am a hero, /
because i fought to expose them! /
Because it proves a point that apartheid is alive... /
