Fists of Support

 

Fists of Support

With the strongest valour
Mans vengeance against oppression
Oppression in its multiple facets
The brutal stumble over expressions
The block against freedom
Over racial divide
Springs from beneath the wounds of suffering.
 
But we have this revealed
In the secret of history
The legend of mans survival
Against the bouts of intimidations
That man cares for his manness.
 
He judges rains from heavy clouds
And curses the colourful rainbow
He responds to the hearty smile
But the twisted ones deserve doubts.
 
This perception is the gift of man
And is there to stay
The feelers of imaginations explore
Roaming like antennae of a cockroach
A fragment of bread speaks
Its own language to the lowly
Hungry and nocturnal cockroach.
 
Not only the black
But also all the people of colour posses this magic
They can never be blinded
That the leopard is a lamb
Its tail will always poke out
From the majestic shrewd of the lambs skin.
 
Our support from this end
Over the impending elections
May you triumph over the hoax?
As we throw the fists of support
And cry for the sustained struggle.
