It becomes more necessary to see the truth as it is if you realise that the only vehicle for change are these people who have lost their personality. The first step therefore is to make the black man come to himself; to pump back life into his empty shell; to infuse him with pride and dignity, to remind him of his complicity in the crime of allowing himself to be misused and therefore letting evil reign supreme in the country of his birth."


-Steven Biko 1946-1977

Goodbye & Good Riddance
By Ashuntay Carter
 

Goodbye to all the hurt

Good riddance to all my pain

As I watched my love

Walk away in the rain

Inside I felt

As if I wanted to cry

Outside I looked

As if I wanted to die

And then I turned slowly

And walked away from my love

My only wish was for him to love me

A wish that never was

Conceived in your mind

Because it seems I was to you

Never first in your mind

I always took the number two

To all your friends, your job

And those “other obligations”

And as if things weren't bad enough

You had already made your own creation

For over a year I pondered

On what should be done

Now I sit here regretting

The fact that you weren't the one.

A constant downpour on my head

Of rain and sadness now I dread

To go inside and lay on my bed

And wish to myself that you were dead

“why should I care” like you said

I chose the path to which I was led

My dream was for us to someday wed

But dreams are for suckers and now I'm fed

Up to the top of my body with disgust

My mind is filled with hate and mistrust

The one thing that led me to us was lust

And know I cry as it all turns to dust

Sitting in my room wondering why?

But to my pain I say good riddance

And to my hurt I say goodbye.
