Reconciliation is not a solution

The government is the apparatus To control our behaviour It is used by individuals Like a switch We are switched on and off The government of the apartheid regime Advocated racism and oppression The government of the current regime Advocates unity and reconciliation Forgive and forget, they keep on saying Forget my forgiveness God forgives, I don’t A child forgets, I am not I won’t forgive, I won’t forget! Although it is politically discouraged To seek revenge It is socially encouraged To avenge oneself Physical revenge, I don’t promote I promote psychological empowerment Africans were oppressed psychologically Depressed mentally To lose the state of mind I don’t mind the physical oppression Like pain, it gradually fated away Leaving the concrete apartheid intention Blacks and whites should never be equal That inequality notion, Expand from parents to children Like DNA, inherited genetically Like legacy, inherited from generation to generation It uses all kinds of defence mechanisms Lies deep, on the deepest level of our unconscious minds A psychologist by profession Verwoerd new what he was doing A psychologist by nature Biko new what Verwoerd was doing Only if they were still alive They would come up with the solution Not reconciliation! What apartheid did to black people Will always follow a black person Like an object in motion Won’t stop or change direction Unless counteracted by an external force In this case by a psychological intervention Black people are kings Queens of Africa! First citizens of Africa! Apartheid took that away And replaced it with humiliation A fear of our own skin Government should do something There is a solution, not reconciliation A solution, rehabilitation!
