"...When you tell a kid that you are not a Boy nor a Girl but that you are a HATE CRIME ...."

I have found myself going back to my poetry roots lately...See I have always deemed myself a bedroom writer but this blog post is not about me but rather about the Episode I watched on our National Broadcaster SABC1. When one has to applaud the channel for dealing with the issue that seems to be a epidemic in our society being Corrective Rape Of Lesbians.I find myself broken beyond words everytime I think of such social ills, as they are perpetuated by the Sexism that we seem to pass on to our generations as family heirlooms in Africa . I cry alot when confronted by the mere reality of our township streets being fertile grounds for  hate crimes or worse when you know that your sexual orientation becomes a death threat.Why and how does this even happen ?

All my 21 year old mind knows is that certainly can't be the world I want the next generation to inherit ,It can't be but most of all it must not be...In truth the series of poems I will start publishing on this blog will hopefully start serving a greater purpose .If they happen to spark change great but for the joy of having put the debate in your mind will be more then enough joy to me .If one more male ends up with the debate or with them thinking about such ills.Hopefully will inspire them to change their mindsets or should I say "Correct" their attitudes.....Change is near we just have to fight on
