Youth day



youth day

we are too Young to remember .
yet we have inherited  this .
we played no part as we were young and innocent.
but now we must face the consequences.
because our wounds have not yet healed
it still feels new .
it unforgettable...
how can we forget...
but we try our best to make it better
The hurt and the bitterness still runs so deep .
sometimes it feels like we are fighting a loose battle..
the is a part we are playing .
trying to undo the justice for those we lost ..
even though it a burden and  a sorrowful load
that we never asked to carry on our shoulder .
as the youth we don't have the experience ; the memories to guide us to our way to victory .
we are just a clueless youth.
the is no unity .
but we can sense anger and pain ..
The blood split that day dyed our society .
it a dark shadows , always at the back of our mind ..
and yet the is still hope
youth let unit ...
let stand up and fight for the next generation.
to have a better future .
the journey won't be an easy one .
but as young soldiers we accept the challenge
Together we stand, together we can be victorious.
we accept the past as part of our history,
Yet we do not live by it.
forming new relationships everyday
helps us to be united ..
people who are united are hard to be broken .
because together we find strength to fight for another day
as the youth of Africa , united
the dark becomes light
the burden becomes lighter
the future hass been handed to us in silver platter .
and it a bright future ...
happy youth day Heroes
