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!!!
