Real Tears Poem by Okello Baloyi

Real Tears

I'm really afraid to have a children of my own, where one can be the rapist or the latter, why victims tend to be blamed for what they went through, while perpetrators walk's free and the latter deal with trauma.

My predecessors were killed or jailed for wanting to be recognized in their own turfs, while perpetrators of century crimes against humanity walked free, injustice continue to prevail in my community.
