Snethemba Ngongoma
Veins are branches,
Bodies are trees
Blood in bodies carries riches
To enrich life with oxygen.
As dark as wine, it flows
In abundance, like petals of a red rose
Red river, keep on flowing.
There is no life without blood.
When cars crash and smash,
Precious wine is spilled, shed.
To victims of bloodshed
Your blood is a special gift.
Now the cure in you could drift
A patient’s death back to life.
Blood is life.
The red river flows in us
Is remedy:
Anaemia is won over,
Leukaemia is lifeless.
Only if we donate blood.
With our persistence to donate
We let the existence of life continues.
Only if we donate blood.
Share your blood, be a lifesaver.
