We Had To Learn Poem by Phillip Nine Mafunga

Certain things come natural
And certain things we must learn
As black people its high time we broke out
And knew that victimhood is but good
As long as it lasts as feelings only

Africans, better is yet to come
Only if we learnt to be decisive
In taking matters in our hands
For once we were colonized
And once we were enslaved but aren't we free now

Cancerous is the victim mentality
For how long shall other races keep fixing our roads?
Mustn't we be proud of our natural environment?
Why must we always throw litter everywhere?
In this day and age, must we continue with bush toilets?
