Pass The Baton - Opening Poem Read by Amonge Sinxoto
The most important lesson that I've learnt on this journey is that
Those with an ability have a responsibility
Those who can, must I can
Therefore, I am
And because I have
It’s my duty to now pass the baton
So, let’s go
Stretch your hand
The thing about the transferal of this baton
is that it doesn’t matter if upon release you blast hard or get slow
see the point is that when the time comes
I have to pass it on because really, we don’t have a shot at us all winning
Unless when I get to you, I let go eh
I have a responsibility to you and you to what I give you
I know that as I draw closer to you
You’ve already started running to get closer towards that win too
So, I’m confident that as I pass to you, the passion in the form of what I’ve been through
You’ll take it and do the same to make conquerors of all the teammates you’re running to
It’s our turn now
It’s time to make this darkness bright with our burn now
Pass the baton and together let’s build an Africa for us by us
We’re the generation that will no longer be turned down.
For what.
