My language and culture is the essence of my existence <br />but are despised in the new South Africa <br />where the government do not care about my interests <br />but are only following something primitive <br /> <br />and so the country continues in its decline <br />while people stream in from all over Africa. <br />My language and culture is the essence of my existence <br />but are despised in the new South Africa <br /> <br />while I am asking for salvation for myself and my nation, <br />and I am praying to you Lord God, <br />while the authorities bow down before ancestral spirits <br />and I am bringing our destiny to You that are omnipotent; <br />my language and culture is the essence of my existence <br />but are despised in the new South Africa…<br /><br />Gert Strydom<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/south-africa-is-also-my-country-2/
