If education is free,
Why do we strike?

If fees haven’t increased,
Why do we boycott?
If NSFAS is fair,
Why are we mobilising?

If there’s no racism,
Why do we protest?
If there’s really no elitism,
Why aren’t we in classes?

If it’s a rainbow nation,
Why’s there black suffering?
If there’s no corruption,
Why are there enquiries?

If there’s no neocolonialism,
Why’s not education African?
If there’s no imperialism,
Why’s integration one-sided?
