Amandla
June 20, 2023
All across the bustling South African land, a seemingly
Million strong, black fists rise high toward the sky,
All fighting for the rights they could
Never have, an end to apartheid
Death does not scare them, never had, never will, rather,
Left and right, they protest for a change, an end to their discrimination
“Amandla – Awethu”, they proudly exclaim, “We demand liberation!”

For as long as I can remember, the anti-apartheid movement has always instilled within me a great appreciation for the resilience and determination of the black population in a time when they likely felt incredibly powerless. Through this acrostic, I have the hope that readers will recognize that even when life seems incredibly hopeless, if one continues to persevere, they can truly overcome anything.
