THE SYSTEM

The rich get richer, the poor get poorer
Maintaining the status quo.
This system is a manifestation of the evil of the world
I retire from battle and surrender into the arms of the lord.
Conflicting interests with poetry and study
Because I'm studying a system i so despise
The essence of life is missing
Rotating without meaning
Where ever the journey of life may lead you,
Never forget where you come from, for its much like loosing the map of ones future.
The path less pursued may be peaceful
But its also lonely in
an ever changing future within the present.
They don't want us to catch up, so they make us watch reruns
Because the latest are too informative.
Why do we rise when a judge enters a court room, is he God?

Politics and Business

Basic Conditions of Employment Acts purpose is to advance economic development.
However there are few of my people in top Management,
Which means its not advancing my people, as we mainly occupy middle management.
Its ironic that this act doesn't cover people working for national intelligence.
Which means they have freedom to do as they please in the name of government. (Rica?)
This act is unstable because it can be changed to suit the employer.
What seems fair to the employee, may be more money to the exploiter.
Parts of this act, working time, ordinary hours , don't apply to senior Management, who are responsible for paying the cent.
One gets paid double if they work on a Sunday
But the employer can make it ordinary for you to work on a Sunday
Then pay you one and a half,
And keep you quite by reducing your hours of work of.
If your absent from work for more than 2 days your not paid.
But you use public health, 'Elokishini' the clinic is always full and you were sick in bed.
You don't have a doctors certificate, you cannot defend
Sorry, you don't get paid month end
This means you cant buy good medicine to get better,
Which in turn means you will get two more warnings and soon be an unemployed worker.
A mother working as a domestic lives where she works,
If her contract is terminated, she becomes both homeless and jobless.
How good are her provisions?
Health counselling for employees is paid by the employer
It is usually shifted to your medical aid however.

Employment Equity

EE is reverse discrimination
But I'm black so i am not complaining
Ill tell who is,
We are making up for past oppression under apartheid legislation
By the time we catch up to those who oppressed us
They will be so 'far behind' us they will need to catch up to us.
Round and round we go, nowhere, you see
None of us will ever be free
You say you are,
But are you really?

How many Caucasians do you still refer to as whites?
How many 'Africans' do you still refer to as blacks?
Has your mother tongue been accepted as a medium, of instruction?
Have they stopped victimising you because of what your fore fathers did to theirs during apartheid legislation?
Have they stopped locking car doors when you pass?
Have they stopped calling you unfairly advantaged for passing in class?
Have you fallen for the belief that all men are born equal?
Have they stopped blaming you for being born in a private hospital?

So you think your free,
Are you really?

How often do you see a Caucasian grand mother buying paraffin?
How often do you see an African grand mother indoors, locked in?
Have you ever seen a Caucasian walking freely at night?
How often do you see a police van as an African and not get a 'fright'?
Have you ever seen a dog bark at a Caucasian man in the suburbs?

So you think this country is free,
Is it really?

How many countries do we rely on to survive?
How many of our own minerals are helping our own survive?
While still alive
Are you in the right profession?
Are you really studying, reading, learning your passion?
That's because we have been given all the means and none of the direction.
What good is a car, when what you really want is a yacht on an ocean?


Accounting - Accounting for wealth that isn't ours, but should be.
BCOE -Pays the job
NSDS - Pays for skill (guess which one takes precedence?)
By FIFO and LIFO our lives are dictated
Why do you think salaries are confidential?
If what you wear is a refection of how much you earn.
Why do some chose to wear inexpensive clothing?
Does legislation really impact the core fundamentals of a workplace?
Put against each other to make an oppressive system wealthier.


The Hypocrisy of Dentistry

Dentist recommend brushing for one minute two times a day
That's two minutes a day from Sunday to Sunday.
Making you spend more money on toothpaste
And buying an expensive tooth brush is a waste

Because you will have to replace it within three months time
Three more months, another new toothbrush plus a dental check up.
An effective mouth wash is recommended,
What about the percentage of methyl and alcohol you swallow?

Binary compound of fluorine,
Fluoride is used to brighten the teeth.
How well formulated are the more affordable toothpastes?
The kind that most can afford?

The hypocrisy
Of dentistry.

This isn't who we are, the system has got us changed.
Don't get caught in the game, don't get caught in the rage.
The skin a was born in was my Pass to pain and suffering.
Now others are dying to BEE a part of what I'm having.
Lucky dube's slave speaks volumes (its ironic that he's dead)
At what level are you listening to it on your head phones?
I ain't dissing - I'm being true.
No screws missing - when your real, its what you do.
Life has lost meaning - But what does it mean to you?

To catch the most evil - you need to free the more lethal
But, that act is illegal?
Don't blame Pac for the way your kids act
Pac lived his life, the media made the impact.
There are two types of policing - surface policing which is temporary
And true policing, the type unrecorded in history.
Because he is a high profile offender, he is entitled to some slack?
This world will shake you like a 'Shabeer Shake'....

In Conclusion

Be careful what you believe in
The world is full of people who exploit blind faith
The best thing one can do for themselves is to get WELL educated.
The days will only stop feeling routine and meaningless
When pursuing your passion through faith in 'a being' of certain greatness.
SAQA controls what i learn from school to varsity
Someone is controlling me.

Time determines what the date is on the calendar
And God determines the time,
Destroy lives while you live, for no man lives forever.
