Poem from ROAPE Volume 13 Number 35
Soweto

A group of Mozambiquan students wrote a collective poem on the anniversary of the massacre of Soweto - to declare their love and solidarity for their South African brothers and sisters: Your streets are great rivers of blood Pregnant with corpses! Soweto The cries of children Calling to the Power of the People That neither the hostile faces of the guards Or the guns managed to smother - This great desire This flame of freedom!
