Life nowadays is just instagram Back then our ancestors had to write telegrams The golden generation engulfed in black mist They shoot cold heat While I watch it all through uncertain eyes Steve Biko with a pen Robert Sobukwe with paper in a den It haunts me Great God,I'm tied in a knot Great God,they fear not I walk free,still fearful I'm a refugee in my own smile Steve Biko,Robert Sobukwe died for a cause My generation is cursed We are on pause In the paws of a ruined future As long as I still have my pen and paper I'm a poet for a cause

Steve Biko With a Pen
Life nowadays is just instagram Back then our ancestors had to write telegrams The golden generation engulfed in black mist They shoot cold heat While I watch it all through uncertain eyes Steve Biko with a pen Robert Sobukwe with paper in a den It haunts me Great God,I'm tied in a knot Great God,they fear not I walk free,still fearful I'm a refugee in my own smile Steve Biko,Robert Sobukwe died for a cause My generation is cursed We are on pause In the paws of a ruined future As long as I still have my pen and paper I'm a poet for a cause
