CALL SOWETO TO ORDER!!!.

Let it be known at the fountain of Orange, that her sockers are with her like her shadow!

Say it in the ears of Madiba's seed, that her helpers are slaughtered on her street!

Has SOWETO forgotten so fast, when night falls at her corridors, while the young lad wailed out in pains, NIGHT FALL IN SOWETO!

Your woes before the dawn of three decades in retrospect were spread across the Savannah, and now, your seeds are eating up the equatorial!

Though Madiba be dead, has he also gone with the old story? Have the Bantus, the Zulus and the war Lord's of the Sohaili drowned in the sea of forgetfulness, has the orange wash off their minds?!.

Let those that chanted Jagulani know, that the entire walls of SOWETO is less enough to be consumed by the Savannah!

Oh SOWETO!, SOWETO!!, SOWETO!!!
SOWETO that bath in the pool of blood of thy defence; your distress is come like the torment of magma!

Let the seeds of Mbeki remember her woes,
Let the house of Zuma forget not her days of torment,
Let Ramaphosa thought not of safety
For you follow not the peaceful path of Madiba!

Sound the anthem of warning on the streets of SOWETO, let it flow along the path of Orange, that the avengers of Savannah are set in array, and night falls again in SOWETO!!!

ABIOGBA O.A.
