JEREMIAD: "XENOPHOBIC NATION" BY BLESSING RADICAL

Petrol soaked civilians,

laying naked and sprawed on crawling puddles

of human blood,

profusely oozing

from their lacerated frawning wounds.

A burning tyre dangled on their 

blood blobbed necks

like a necklace of

hip hop star.

Raging flames

 consume their

 tender flesh-

with terrible ferocity.

Itching sjamboks

 betrayed with bloodthirsty

 hungover,

heavily landed on their gashed flesh repeatedly,

button sticks numb

 the victims' nervous system grinning wounds

 dribbling with

 tributaries of blood.

Dryed with effulging

  and outrageous

 purplish-blue

 flames.

Which consume wickedly the

 remains of their scattered flesh.

Choked cries pleading for help

echoed on deaf ears.

Until one succumb to death.

Scars,lumps and blisters are the only souvenir lingering in the minds of the deceased family.

Why South Africa?

So inhumane,

          immoral

and wicked?
