I was thrown on the ground, rejected & cast away / they thought I did not have value / in a dumpsite where my kind belonged as they said / I was rejected / But I knew who I was and what I possessed / what I was carrying inside of me, was greater than to care about what they say. / Dirt pilled on me, day… sign in to read more »

The word is Apartheid in Afrikaans / But I call it not only the disinterrelation of races, / But the prematurity of a should-be-mature mind: / That fear of that woman with a "somewhat" complexion, / Of that man with irregular words to your knowing / That gruesome stare to that innocent man / Whose… sign in to read more »
One word, and I melt, / I've heard the same words, with hurt, / Few letters thrown together and my day is brighter, / You say it so well, my soul knows nothing better, / I smile because my inner being hears it better, / I smile because your words plant a seed of joy and peace; independent of external… sign in to read more »
