Today, when I am the President of South Africa, I cannot help recalling Robert Frost's 'Fire and Ice'. The poem talks about fire, symbol of the dark side of humanity i.e., hatredness and lust, and I stands for coldness and rigidity. Human have become insensitive and indifferent towards the feeling of others. They have become selfish and sometimes who will also.
The day, I read the poem 'Fire and Ice' in one of my events. The reaction of the audience to it was spectacular. Given to the history of South Africa and its recent troubles, the poem actually reflects the sufferings of the black people. The Africans have been treated terribly by the ruling governments. It would take many years to recover from that profound hurt. The racial discrimination unleashed a reason of terror, oppression and utility on us. We needed freedom from the white people and their tyranny. Hope the efforts of my people will change the entire dynamic of Africa.
