But Why Jacob Zuma? Poem by Qiniso Mogale

But Why Jacob Zuma?



A once noble organization lies
critically ill
A once reputable organization is
in the intensive care unit
A once revered organization is
now ridiculed
The African National Congress is dying
Jacob Zuma is the murderer
But why Jacob Zuma?

Your greed has been insatiable
Your ignorance has been irredeemable
Your pride has been despicable
You are a shame
You are a sham
You are not worthy to be called a leader
You have destroyed in a few years what was
built with sweat and tears
You have destroyed what was built by the blood
of valiant revolutionaries
But why Jacob Zuma?

A.N.C stalwarts are weeping in their graves
Albert Luthuli is weeping
Nelson Mandela is weeping
Oliver Tambo is weeping
Walter Sisulu is weeping
Govan Mbeki is weeping
They refuse to be comforted
They refuse to be consoled
Their hard work down the drain
because of one man's self centeredness
But why Jacob Zuma?
But why Jacob Zuma?
What is your legacy?
You shall be judged harshly by history!
