It’s been 27years,
Since we tasted freedom,
27 years,
to experiment,
to experience,
Democracy,
Equality,
Going to the same school,
the same beaches,
the same restaurants,
the holiday spots,
With everyone together,
In many ways,
We’ve come closer as a Nation,
We’ve developed far in a common identity,
Building bridges through our communities,
Through our cultures,
Through our values,
But 27 years on,
As we celebrate,
We must acknowledge that there is much more to be done,
For the eradication of poverty,
of unemployment,
for a roof over everyone’s head,
for justice for all,
… But we’ve begun!
