September '77 Port Elizabeth weather fine It was business as usual In police room 619 Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja -The man is dead
When I try to sleep at night I can only dream in red The outside world is black and white With only one colour dead Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja -The man is dead
You can blow out a candle But you can't blow out a fire Once the flames begin to catch The wind will blow it higher Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja -The man is dead
And the eyes of the world are watching now watching now

Until and unless you acknowledge and remove the leash the persons in power (some on both sides) keep on their population of dogs you will continue to live at the pleasure and for the benefit of your masters.

But I voted for Tutu's elephant/mouse analogy. First there has to be an admission of the problem.
