Let us heal

Let us heal this growing Nation, Let us heal this starving Nation,

 UNDER 21? Email Youth Tube at tellus@sowetan.co.za if you would like to submit your poem, essay or artwork 

As we walk in standard heels,

They walk in nothing, but they kneel

As we peel that delicious fruit, they eat something less than a minute.

The rich or poor

Let us go on a tour of our world.

Let us unfold ourselves and reach out to our Nation

and create a new creation called an organization

And let this be our daily satisfaction.

Admirable sentiments from a 13-year old. Wouldn't it be great if adult South Africans embraced a similar outlook? Well said Mpumi!!!

Sad that kids dont see colour/creed/race........ then in comes the adult and pollutes the young mind/s

@ Mpumi Zungu

Pretty inspiring child, write a Zulu version, hand it over to President Zuma and kindly ask him to the poor only the poor forget the affording ones only the poor, his corrupt self and his corrupt cabinet... that money can go a looong way.
