All the work on this site is about the South Africa I know and have lived in for 20 years, all real, no marketing, no lies, this is how I've experienced my country and view it today. Alright Another day, another hearse
Another dead, another full church
Another orphan, another father gone
Sometimes I wonder, where did we go wrong?
Papa, although we weren't that close
and though you sometimes weren't there for us
I don't hate you for the road that you chose
Just know you always were a part of us
I know we will see each other again, someday
and that thought helps me bare all the pain today
And though sometimes I do cry at night
I rest assured knowing that everything will be alright
Another day, another ill
Another sister, another full hospital
Another mother, some more fears
Sometimes I wonder, when will we stop the tears
It's not raining no more, it's pouring
I think it's time we noticed the ads we're ignoring
We have a future that's dying, my brothers
And too many little babies crying with no mothers.
With claims of conspiracies running around
Can't y'all see that this is a real disease we've found?
To everyone who understands what I'm saying tonight
some day our future will be alright
Another day, another hijack
Another brother, another body bag
Another crime, another statistic
I wonder sometimes how life became so basic
Another statistic, another figure on a page
Another brother, another funeral Saturday
We all know it's hard living in this world alone
with the white man controlling all you own
but robbing your people isn't going to help you
'cause when we struggle, you struggle too
and I know it might seem crazy tonight
give it a day, it will all be alright
Another day, another arrest
Another sister, another AIDS test
Another rape, another innocent lost
I ask myself sometimes where our pride got lost
With conspiracy theories flying around
I wonder sometimes what it is we've found
It can't be a disease, no disease affects peoples morals
No disease changes a whole continents tomorrows
I know it's hard, I know it's desperate
but you can't fight something by spreading it
It all seems desperate tonight
but if together we fight, tomorrow will be alright
Another poem, another page
Another message, another stage
Another problem, another fight
I know it's difficult but tomorrow it will be alright.
