My Environment My Heritage Poem by Sir Tshiamo Modise

Here I stand as free person
I part of the rainbow nation
In a beautiful and Coloured place
Yes! That’s my environment my heritage

Try to conserve and sustain
And it will serve by it’s attraction
If ploughed manured and watered
Food is pumped and no one is starved

Pick a paper you threw away
And be a camper far far away
For a city without pieces
Is as pretty as an ice princess

Climb a mountain and look back, beyond this freedom
Lies a fountain oozing tears, sweat and blood
Make peace but don’t forget
For a tree without roots knows no water
A tree without roots knows no stability and is bound to fall
