A Tribute To Africa

A Tribute to Africa.

As he was patriotic and heroic in His deeds

As He never surrendered to them,

But called for a non-racial rather than a multi-racial state.

He stood before them and persuaded His dream to be a lawyer,

Activist and a true Africanist.

He was never shy as He fought till His last breath.

He never compromised nor met a consensus with them.

He wanted nothing but Equality and the total emancipation of All

So they concluded to by inculcating a Law of isolation and concentration

That binded Him from mobilizing the lost ones

The Sobokwe Clause

But none of that emerged prosperous as He was patriotic.

He was the most feared than all Activists even Mandela

As He and the All approached the Orlando Police Station

They were arrested with the chains of mental slavery and greediness.

He was never afraid and stood upright facing the Herovalkist System

He never retaliated but carried on passively and carefully.

He was the only one to have a 4 room house at the Robben Island

And a driver who never went word-on-word with Him

As they knew He was influential and Humble at all times.

He was the most feared but loved by His own.

They then try to send Him to heaven with a pack of Tobacco everyday

Which they call a biological warfare, but never succeed.

He called it the Sharpeville Massacre but they called it the Human Rights Day

But there were no Rights since we were shot at our backs, trying to take cover.

He was the father, the founder and the Messiah of Azania

He was fighting for His Land and its greener Pastures, the minerals

Oww Tata Mangaliso Robert Sobokwe usishiyeleni Na?
