"I do not have perfumed lips But I speak the truth. I do not have cat eyes But I can see the true colors of the universe. I do not have donkey ears But I can hear what make sense and what is a nuisance. I do not have a dog nose But I can smell and distinguish between carbon-monoxide & oxygen. I do not have a big heart But I do have passion for love and I love people. I do not have soft hands But I can deliver my people from shame. I am the son of the soil Like daughters of the land. I am the filament of freedom, I am the pistil of peace, I am the calyx of consciousness, I am the corolla of peoples cause, I am the pollen of prosperity, I am the anther of amicable solutions, I am the stem of our society, The son of the soil" Zolani Mkiva
