Making A Better World - Milton Louw

The ability to save information on a computer (for example in the central register) will also necessitate new legislation to be promulgated. These laws are especially necessary in our Information and Communication enabled society where information is stored on electronic retrieval systems. Legislation for informational privacy The Namibian Constitution states in Article 13 Privacy: “(1) No persons shall be subject to interference with the privacy of their homes, correspondence or communications save as in accordance with law and as is necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security, public safety or the economic well-being of the country, for the protection of health or morals, for the prevention of disorder or crime or for the protection of the rights or freedoms of others.” The Constitution thus guarantees only “Physical Privacy”. The storage of personal and business information (“Informational Privacy”) must have legislation that will prevent misuse of...

My brother and I once lived together as one But life was bad for me back then You see, he’s white while I’m not But, these are all rules set but mortal men And I’ve often wondered why they said such thing, Things that really hurt me deep inside, While they pretended they were kings. Now I’ve come to realize that they lied Because we are all equal And even though our skins don’t match Everybody should be entitled to follow his own will But if I said this, the jail door behind me they’d latch! Now, I know these words may not mean a lot But the truth is, they all I’ve still got.

Can’t we all come and meet each other And no matter what colour we may be Be able to show we love one another And then together we’ll stand, you and me The leaders of Tomorrow, Planning for what is to come Otherwise there will be lots of needless sorrow Over killing which are quite dumb. So come closer now and grab my hand And we’ll accept each other as brothers And then together we’ll be able to stand To show our Father and Mothers We want to plan for a common future No matter what our race, colour or culture.

“Look at me my white brothers Come closer to me And show you care about the others By letting us all live free” This request may sound funny But you all are enjoying your lives While we struggle for money So we can feed our children and wives Now I know what the laws are But they are really quite unfair And so if you’ll lift the colour Bar It will prove you really care. So now that you’ve heard my cry Go home and ask yourselves; Why?

I always wanted to be a writer And this is something I’ll be I’m sure But the problem is what to write about So people will sit up and take head. That is why I wish my skin was whiter So people will stop thinking they are more pure Because they are wrong have no doubt As we were all created equal And that’s why I wrote this poem: So everyone the truth can read!

Tonight I got peace in my soul, A song in my heart And a smile on my lips All because I know once more what it is to love. I’ve always said this feeling is not for me I believe that loving was not possible Because I never found someone But now I have, And it’s you I know I love!

What hit me? This night of the 22nd I won’t forget ‘Cause something really special happened As our hearts (and bodies) eventually met. I know I promised to forget And tomorrow will be just another normal day But inside me, my heart will be going wild And I’ve never ever had it feel this way. Why weren’t we willing to accept it? Others saw it before we did While we always joked about it But only ourselves it seems we were trying to kid Now, whatever happens between us I hope we give it a chance to work Otherwise we’ll both end up sad While in our hearts this love will lurk. Tonight I’m not going to be able to sleep And if I do, I’ll dream of you Because tonight you and I said those three magic words ‘I Love You’
