South Africa
Life is tough.
You have to be buff.
You have to be strong,
Or everything will go wrong.
People think the place is horrible,
Well they are just terrible.
Although they cant affort water to bathe,
They still do have alot of faith.
Looking Nelson Mandela in the eye,
They stand tall with pride.
With hopes of a better South Africa.
My life, My home, My everything.
South Africa
