Reconciliation remains an empty platitude

if the truth is kept hidden behind clouds of darkness.

Without honesty and without healthy children

the future looks bleak.

The darkness of corruption cannot always swallow

the light of hope and aspiration for betterment

with the need for justice, responsibility and respect.

Big words have never solved the social problems of injustice,

if the big words were not followed by practice.

It is true that personal humbleness is needed

to become honest and to make the input powerful

for the welfare of the people in need and for the children.

Equality and corruption are antagonistic and exclude one another.

People may speak about colonialism and racism one century more,

but nothing will change as long as selfish people of self-enrichment

have not been brought to justice.

The hiding people of greed and cowardly attitude

- many of them with big lips about equality and nation building -

must be eliminated that old people can hope for a better pension

for the last years of life in dignity they deserve after hard work and privation

and to give the youth the true chance to build up life by equal opportunities.

The hardest fight is the fight for justice, truth and respect

against corruption and the other diseases of social decay

associated with the opportunistic attitudes of the various concealed forms.

The racism-related slogans of the past can no longer serve

as excuses for hiding places of self-enrichment and other forms

of injustice, inequality and other violations of righteousness.

This, to start honestly and substantially with building up a nation in the perspective

of life improvement to everybody who is just, reliable and diligent.

As long as good and ethical manners are neglected and violated

as long as women are beaten from men up to hospitalisation or death

as long as innocent children are maltreated and raped

and newborns are thrown into rubbish bins or elsewhere

society is sick up to the tips of its roots. (What and where are the traditional values?)

The question is to cut out this asocial cancer before it is incurable.

It is alarming how far the mental disorder as one aspect of corruption has gone.
