Preaching freedom while liberation exist not in the mind... Untrusted future in the hands of a desparate generation... Hope forgotten because ignorance is ruling a rebelious nation... A cursed pigment will always fall behind...
Give it a shiny object and see how it brags... Then you wont have to chain it as it thinks of freedom... Name it according to its behaviour... Then you will see it resembling its ape ancestors...
By throwing stones at you and singing amandla, nga wethu... Grant it freedom of expression... Because it wont see that it is under psychological oppression... Like its ancestors...
Put it in a cage and give it a banana... You will see it bousting by beating its chest at a sight of an audience... Calling itself iskhothane...
Then you say the future belongs to the youth... Then my question would be... Which future and which youth?
