Green pastures, clean air,equality...all these words sound like they're from a utopia in this slowly degrading society. We constantly delude ourselves with the concept of freedom and choice but even so we fight.

White men converging with the main goal of killing black students. They still do it just not in the same form. To see chaos sweep through black children gives them feelings of euphoria. Remember when Prime Minister John Vorster said "Orders have been given to maintain order at all costs." At what cost? The blood of our people!? And by "maintain order," he meant, to force these barbarians to sit down and learn our languages so that they could serve us.

To the youth of today see the youth of 1976 as a reflection. A reflection of strength and progress. Grow from the roots of black consciousness that they have embedded. Reflect on their beliefs of education being the best approach to success. Seek equality not superiority. In this nation flows a stream of hope that overflows with the dreams of the youth. So much so that our hope will never run dry. We shall exhaust every opportunity of change we get to see our dreams for South Africa come true. Fill up all the spaces and creases as the youth, do not fear nor undermine yourself.

Steve Biko I want you to know that your words do not fall on deaf ears. You said "All  in  all  the  black  man  has  become  a shell,  a shadow  of man,  completely  defeated,  drowning  in  his  own  misery,  a slave,  an  ox  bearing  the  yoke  of oppression with  sheepish  timidity." As the youth of today we should know better, we should refuse to be this soulless black man whose soul belongs to a white man but he remains in a black body. Don't see your melanin as a pawn of restriction and shame. We shall be black and proud,Black and want more for ourselves, black and be at the top, black and be ourselves, black and dignified.
