Keorapetse Kgositsile - Rites of Passage
for uriel, thabang, Mabitse and Papers

Your time on time
has created history’s arse
there are no crossroads
Your passage through here
teaches us weight of mission
teaches us slime of promise
from mouth greased with stench
of crimson dollar or rand
or whatever currency demands
floods of your blood
all over this land
you must reclaim

In this world
there are no children’s wars
you are a man now
patriot and comrade now
you now know
the slime of race
you know now
the brutality of class appetite
you know now
who must bleed and drown
in the fire of your mission
and resolve
Mayihlome!

"A poor society is one that does not appreciate its writers . Such a society is blind and short sighted. They do not have a mirror to reflect on. They neither know where they are going and where they are coming from" anonymous
