The Bequest Of Hector Pieterson Poem by Tshepo Malekutu

…What an abandoned brave bequest! ! !
The oozing mighty cry of Soweto uprising-
The 1976'sof Mbuyisa Makhubouproar courage -
The June 16 of Antoinette Sithole stand as ferments -
The Soweto uprising of Hector Pieterso struggled for us-

The 13 years old, the young one, died for us-
He stood before a bullet of history-
Apartheid was a curse of black person-
It raven and raped icons of activist-
It written South African history with blood-

The strike costed the roots of families-
1976 governments brought undead pain to mothers-
The anthem of pains and horrors but renowned for history-
The fears and tempest in Soweto uprising history-
But the 13 year old champion prize our 16 June above history-

1976 the pride of African soil in history-
Soweto uprising the inception of our courage-
June 16 the legacy of Hector Pieterson-
He stood before a bullet of history for us-
The 13 years old, the young one, died for us-

Youth of 1976 are deeply honoured-
The stories and pictures of African soil-
Soweto the mother of African history-
The history poured Soweto with blood, struggle and reverence-
Apartheid was a black cloud upon African soil-
