My roots are from where the gold and diamonds are ripped from the Earth.
Right next to the slave ditches, where the water is cursed.
Still the Africans thirst needs to be a priority.
Imagine a third world, a water free society.
A world where the police brutality isn't half as nice.
Makes the hoods in America look like fucking paradise.
Still that's shit compared to the AID infested caribbean slum.
African streets closes moral evil,
Is that for a passport you need a fresh boat American gun.
Cape town,where they massacre people and trt to keep it quiet.
Spend the next twenty-five years, trying to deny it.
My roots getting worse, day on day.
Im from where they cut your hand off, if you make a fist.
Forced to work with coco beans because a job market doesn't exist.
And any charity to those Zimba people is just considered racist.
(Chorus)
The water is poison, im from the third world son.
Boiling land, so dry it the cousin to the sun.
Yet,the way out is the boat and purchasing a fucking gun.
To get more pay.
Illegal niggers, try to get into America and the Uk.
Try and live the real way.
Half of Africa, is racist.
And it's amazing how they trained to be racist to themselves.
No wonder half of Americas Africans stacking food shelfs.
The only thing they good at is fighting one another,
Not giving a damn, they make an impression.
So bad they bring tears their Mother.
Some places are worse, so I will never complain.
Still some wannabe thugs do, that brings me shame.
For instance, look at Vietnam, the events of thr bomb drops.
AKA-The Napalm.
They from where the bombs the US dropped on Vietnam.
Still has children being born deformed eight months before the gone.
Im from where they lost the true meaning of the Quran.
Cause Heroin,slavery, and prostitution is not compatiable with Islam.
Fuck America, fuck democracy.
How can we live if we know this shit occurs everyday.
And us people just care for our wages rate of pay.
Everybody think, we need to change our ways.

Powerful words!
I think you have a tendency to over-use the full stop, which interrupts the rhythm and flow of the poem.
Also - 'im' should read 'I'm'
Words that really SAY something, great!

I really like this one Pin. ;-). Change for good will, I fear, be a long time coming, if ever. It's me!me! time unfortunately my friend, so coping strategies are called for.
Most people are too caught up in their own problems to be interested in those of others and hate having their own lifestyle openly questioned, god forbid being criticised for not caring or being part of the problem!
From my perspective this is the best piece of yours that I have seen by a long way. Great stuff for me Pin ;-). Thanks

I agree with Jupiter - you really say this well. I think caring has been left for the few who volunteer and those who write and paint about it. perhpas it's always been that way. Anyway - a great piece of work Pinda:) sarah x
