Pass The Baton - Opening Poem Read by Amonge Sinxoto


Listen Later

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.
