A POEM BY BRO DANIEL MOLOKELA!
FREEDOM CHETE!
Those who've always known her
Say she is not only such a beauty
But that she's always vivacious
Abounding with energy and life!
Yet today when I saw she was so different
It wasn't the normal her at all
As she limped up to court with her co-accused
She was visibly drained and deflated!
Her normally beautiful bright face
Was not so today, she looked a bit darker
Her eyes were ruddy, more of blood shot
Far from the sparking white eyes she normally has!
Those who saw her latest pictures
Say she now has a battered body
Polished black all over by the brutality of the police
Far from her normally golden crisp body!
I also saw her as she struggled out of the court
The medics also had seen enough of her pain
She was lifted up into a waiting ambulance
Driven through the avenues to a hospital ward
But as she left, a stinking air of injustice filled the air
Covering the whole rotten area of the magistrates courts
But I am told when she woke up in her bed
In the privacy of Avenues Clinic
The nurses thought the first words she muttered
Had a familiar ring around her!
"Freedom Chete!!!!"
All she wanted was her people's freedom
All she wanted was her own freedom
"Freedom Chete!"
That's all she wanted. Just that!!!
