Black saturday

An innocent girl,
Who lost her life,
All because of a few men,
Men who believed themselves to be superior.
They robbed her of her soul,
Her hope, her fight,
Woke a nation,
A sleeping land,
Candles,not weapons, were held in hands,
Justice was what was asked,
A feeling of despair, desperation, hit them all,
Where is our Country?
Is it the same place,
where the ashes of those who fought long for its freedom,
Are buried ?
How long will it take till we're safe?
How long till we see better days ?
This night seems too long,
But now it's time to rise up,
To enlighten ourselves and others,
We can't sit back anymore,
It's time to wake those,
Who hold the law in their hands,
Justice, knocking at their doors.
