He Was There Comments

Oh Siyabonga, what an emotional piece of writing there. Absolutely touching.

You Know I have so many people I can think of, who have died in the most inhuman ever way there could ever be, all that because of efforts they put, just to level the road for those like us, they sacrificed their own lives that belonged to their families, to mention but a few Steve Bantu Biko, the list is endless, but I can truly sense the is this one person which you tried to relate to in this write, its really sad, but worth reading for the sake of inner-peace The_African_Son

lovely poem and well written.

this is a sadly fantastic poem. it filled me with remembrance of something from the past. thank you for letting me remember!

it's a very touching poem// great write! ! Top marks! ! ! !

Your poetry is so good it touches my soul, could feel it in my heart. Very emotional poem and I love it.

The good as they say....die young.And we may also say...the mediocre are always waiting in the wings ready to claim/take credit for what they have'nt done.And have you seen how many of them have appeared to steal and plunder from the public till in our country?

Yes Siyabonga, very true. So many heroes have given their lives for our freedom. And often they are forgotten all too early. Murderous greedy dictators and twisted minds have been pushed away at the cost of many young lives. These are true heroes and deserve to be remembered by us all. Wonderful poem shaking us a bit awake from our comfort zone. Very well written

I really like this poem. great style and message. The length, to me, is just ideal for such a message.

Loved it, some didn't even die but are still not recognised my brother, they were there. Wonderful poem I really enjoyed it!

wow! ! How horrific! He sounds like he died a hero. Sacrificed himself for freedom. May freedom rein. May his life never be forgotten.

This is an amazing write. Discrimination in any form should not be tolerated in a civilized world. Only an uncivilized government can condone such atrocities to her citizens...you have brought this to light, the fact that so many who fight and contribute to freedom die and are forgotten heroes..blessings...

A great poem.....well written.....

all are human, with the same color of blood, with the same organs & eating the same things. We should respect each other. Every thing has its own value.........So there is no meaning in any type of discrimination......So love each other. This a great poem which shows us a negative face of the human beings..........well written, dear friend..
