shattered dreams

rainbow nation in shame
red is the dominant colour
the blood of other african children
the pan african dream dented
shaming the african renaissance
turning to garbage those struggles
that african emancipation going to waste
a wiry, ghoulish hand behind it all
a primeval beast devouring our dreams
in the vortex of violence steeped
the divide and rule tactics still here
african revolutionaries scorned
the rainbow swallowed by deep darkness
what rainbow nation to talk about
the refuge in other parts of africa forgotten
the devil having his human barbecue
where to african renaissance
