Oh, tell me of the burden borne,
Of 'black tax' that weighs forlorn,
Young Africans in a heartfelt plea,
Yearning to break tradition's decree.

Elsa Majimbo, with words so sharp,
Her rant awoke a slumbering harp,
Questioning the norm, sparking debate,
Should love's currency carry this weight?

Generations past, a timeless call,
Sending money, a familial thrall,
But now the young, with minds ablaze,
Seeking a new path in changing days.

Influencer's voice, a potent force,
Challenging a custom's course,
To lighten wallets, unchain the heart,
And find a fresh, less heavy start.
