Biko (1946 - 1977) Poem by DM W

Biko (1946 - 1977)



They blinded him because
Of the boldness of his vision.
They crippled him because of his
Consciousness raising activity.
They clipped his wings because
He dared to dream and soar
Like a bird to unknown heights.
But the force of his spirit
Tore through the dark cloak
Of their injustice and oppression.
