Leader Remember by Dr Gcina Mhlope
The time you spent
Fighting for your freedom
And that of your people
The time you played hide and go seek
With the oppressor man
Till he caught you at last
Put you in chains and leg irons
Threw you in jail
Believing in his rotten heart
That you’ll never again
See the light of day
