iZwelithini makunje?
iZulu lithini Nkosi makunje?
Ngibamba oweZansi, konakalephi?
LuTshaka-zile ulaka lwaphuma impoko!
uZuma-ngale kwenzakalani?
We are in Danger!
God the creator,
God the Omni-present.
God of no boundaries and favor.
God of whose image we were created
We are in Danger!
Isisu somhambi kasinganani
Singangophonjwana lwembuzi.
Mzansi ehambayo kayiqed’ tshani.
Dear S.A –Am just a foreigner!
But this is not the license for you to manipulate me!
Love thy neighbor!
President Zuma/Mtsholozi –Like your son in law- Am just a Foreigner
Baba Madiba –Like Graca Machel-Am just a foreigner
Archbishop Desmond Tutu –Like Mary Magdalene was to the Egyptians-Am just a Foreigner.
Julius Malema –Like revolutionary comrades from beyond your borders-Am just a Foreigner.
Simphiwe Tshabalala –Like Benni Macthy is to UK-Am JUST a Foreigner.
S.A listen to me!
Mzansi listen to my cry!
skill I bring, but You call me a NIX.
I come from a home next door, But you call me nonentity.
Why call me an outcast?
A Someone from somewhere.
Somehow A nowhere!
Am I the Bad Apple?
ZULU why Xenophobia?
Mayuyu Mzansi , Am just a foreigner !
Where is the genuine beauty and glimmer of the Rainbow nation?
What diversity do I need to celebrate eMzansi?
Where is the color BLACK in the Rainbow tapestry?
Am I the unwanted Kore-Kore ?
Forever a victim.
Xenophobia victim.
\`Fresh Xenophobia attacks again.
100 feared dead
10 000 deported.\`
Mzansi why treat me like a social mis-fit,
A second hand Human-being?
A vulnerable immigrant.
I live vinegar times and feed on lemons.
I live a life punctuated by neglect-rejection and victimization.
Surrounded by false friends and true enemies.
Whose intent to disturb and frustrate.
“Thand’umakhelwane wakho njengob’uzithanda wena”
Azania-kingdom, Where is the meaning of the GOLDEN RULE ?
Mzansi nation, Yes Am just a Foreigner !
I follow while you lead the way .
I dance while you play the tune.
I run while you set the pace.
I bleed while you pull the trigger.
Why should I be shot and killed wantonly
Why am I always a suspect like an American nigga?
Mzansi- I am just a brother from another country.
Am just a Foreigner.
Why envy Barack Obama-queen Elizabeth, Morgan Tsvangirai and Obasanjo Yet hate the Foreigners?
Why commit to SADC, African Union, G12 and the United Nations
Yet hate the Foreigners ?
Why play Alicia Keys-Jenifer Lopez-Culture Spears and Oskido
Yet hate the Foreigners?
Why believe TB Joshua –Pastor Ashimilow-Pastor Chris and Christopher Allam
Yet hurt the Foreigners?
Why contract Esrom Nyandoro-Peter Ndlovu-Tapuwa Kapini and Knowledge Musona
Yet hate the Foreigners?
Why scream for the World Cup 2010?
Why engage in export and import business?
Why have the Home Affairs, the Embassies and Asylum Documents Yet Again continue to burn foreigners to death!
I am a brother from another country
In search for a better Trade.
In search for a better Job.
In search for a better life- A better wife!
In exchange of professional labor.
Yes Am just a Foreigner
Calabani elidalwe yithi abantu baphandle?
Mzans\` Africa Ngidedeleni ngodlame,
No to XENOPHOBIA,
Soneni thina izihambi
Yeyeni Bantu, asazi lutho thina, Singabantu baphandle……
Am just a FOREGNER…UMAKHELWANE OKUMELE UMTHANDE NJENGOBA UZITHANDA WENA!!!!!!!
