Dear Youth of colour!
Darken your lips with the language and culture of your mother.
Fill your mind with the wisdom and knowledge of your father.
Realise that the world is changing and you are in it.
Alter for survival but do not lose yourself.
Create principles and abide by them.
Know your history, remember your past.
Make life an expedition for priceless gifts.
Live for a bigger purpose, conquer your quest.
Empathise upon the pain of your elders.
Realise the price of their struggles.
Freedom for you and your siblings.
A paradise just for your existence...
Let logic dictate and decide your fate,
Become the underdog that grew to prominence.
Make yourself substantial, become someone of relevance.
Build a character formed of ethical elements.
Create a legacy that outlives your breathe and
Become a common name in role model examples.
Youth of color...
Black girl...
black boy...
Utilise your abilities.
Take your opportunities.

These are your policies...
Take plight in your growth.
Learn the love for reading
Open your eyes
Take cognisance of the world's perils.
Live beyond disaster and tell the story of hope.
Breathe victory young one
Live, ascend soar
And be woke..
Yes you youth of colour.
