Our duty is to reciprocate kindness
The love and empathy we preach about
The Ubuntu and the Uhuru that we chanted and trumpeted in the past
To learn to love and respect each other
Our duty is to be the future we were told we would be
To push further as innovators, dreamers and creators
To stand up for truth, against cruelty
Rectify the evils and injustices of before
Our duty is to help each other
To avail ourselves to those who suffer from the sorrows of life
To lend a helping hand, without meaningless judgement
To say “no more” to turning a blind eye
Our duty is to unite together, strengthen together
In spite of our differences and our journeys
It is a responsibility we must carry with honour
Our duty is to be human
