From my perspective <br />I believe that Tupac Shakur was a victim of racism <br />So as Nelson Mandela, who fought through courage towards the bright light <br />Tupac was not just a rapper who stood up for young Black males <br />But an icon to me, a prophet and a voice of Malcolm X, Martin Luther King <br />And all the unmentioned prophets <br />There are many examples of such prophets, the other one Is Biko <br />He is the hero of me, although we still fight the battle within the minds black <br />Away from the now foreseen ‘Tribal racism’ <br />I remember the time they released Mandela from jail <br />I was eight years old, <br />That was a good day for me. <br />I also remember the time they assassinated Chris Hani <br />It was just after my birthday, April the 9th <br />That was a sad day for me <br />Although all the true stories are never told <br />My perceptive forever hold <br />Your perspectives forever hold <br />After all, this is Africa the truth here is served dead and cold<br /><br />Sicelo Sithole<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/from-my-perspective/
