Singing Songs Of A Revolution (South Africa) Poem by Sarah Mkhonza

I danced the toyi toyi
And thought it was joy
To dance in streets and
Jump up and kick up sand
And point at the oppressor
With the finger of a professor
For mine was a land
Oppressed in the hand
Of a system we called
This name apartheid
For different we were
And similar we were
In dance, in joy and
Song and for in this and
Yesterdays truth we stand
And see today as a day
Where we must find a way
In this country that says
We will always share and stay
Being one in every way.
