THIS IS WHAT IT IS

THIS IS WHAT IT IS

Was never involved in Rwandas history
and I never will be
I never grew up in Rwanda
I never even visited Africa
yet I have a connection to my people.

I cannot speak about Genocide
I was never involved
I cannot say im affected
I was never even there
but cannot deny I was not

I need to be wise because
it is what it is
what level are you talking?
can I call my self Rwande?
when I dont even speak Kinyarwanda?


Can I say i miss home
when I dont know where home is
can I miss what I never had
life is good why should i be sad
the voice of reason inside

21 questions or twenty one lessons
just give me twenty one reasons
of who am I to talk about Genocide
cuz if I keep silent im guilty inside.


I have nothing to hide except my pride
where was God during Rwanda Genocide
was he asleep or die he die
the sun never stops the birds sing
pay attention I doubt God did something


If I blamed God would I be justified
would I be vindicated in taking my side

could I point the finger and blame him as cause

and be angry, without taking a pause
