14th of august
the day students raised against the system
the day students turned into soldiers
the day young boys unleashed the demons
of Steve Biko and Tsietsi Mashinene
the day young ladies marched and fourth
like our heroinic Helen Joseph and Winnie Madikizela Mandela
the day stones became weapons
to be throwed to our fathers and Mothers
who betrayed  their own children
the day corrugated metal were displayed as shields
the  day history repeated itself
and this time it was not against the white army
but with one of our own
the day unleaded students showed unity
the day vandalizing was the only communication
to be used to get a rapid realistic response
the day we lost one of our own like they lost Hector Petersen
with buckshot's
the day eggs mattered than windows
the day 14th of august 2022
brought back the history of 16 June 1976
the day that events of it will become a story
which will be told to the upcoming generations

In the realm of knowledge, where dreams unfold,
Students embark on a journey bold.
With minds ready and spirits high,
They spread their wings and aim for the sky.

In halls of learning, they seek the light,
Guided by dedication, burning bright.
They embrace challenge, with each test,
Determined to overcome, do their best.

With strength of will and hearts aflame,
They face each module with no shame.
Math and science, language and art,
They conquer each hurdle, playing their part.

Through sleepless nights and restless days,
They strive to understand in countless ways.
Highlighters dance across pages of text,
As they absorb knowledge, with minds flexed.

Oh, students, hear this heartfelt cheer,
May success and triumph soon draw near.
Have faith, persevere, never dismay,
For your efforts will pave the way.

Exams may bring nerves, stress, and strain,
But know that your hard work won't be in vain.
For in each question lies an opportunity,
To showcase your brilliance and creativity.

Remember, exams are but stepping stones,
Leading to futures that are yet unknown.
So, go forth, with courage and drive,
Excel, inspire, and make memories thrive.

Believe in the power that lies within,
Embrace the journey, let your spirits win.
With every challenge, you grow and learn,
Each lesson a flame that continues to burn.

In the end, it's not just a grade or score,
It's the knowledge gained, forevermore.
So, face your exams with heads held high,
You're capable of reaching the sky.

You've prepared, you've studied, you're ready,
Now walk into that exam room steady.
Embrace the moment, let your wisdom shine,
And watch as your dreams align.

May luck be on your side, as you take each test,
May brilliance guide you, always, at your best.
Believe in yourself, and all you can do,
The world is yours, students, let it be true.
