No more time
battles drums play
awaiting your participation
amoung the ranks of brave
and courageous souls
listen in the wind
to the whispering of
the lion of Judah
The fires of rage are burning
with the flames of readiness
Come and assemble yourselves
for they who have waited
a lifetime are ready
enough is enough in the
sight of God and man
No mas!
No mas!
Hear the lamentations
of the dying
babies lying in the
streets crying
feel the current flow
all systems are go
Unite flesh of my flesh
come back home
blood of my blood
and emancipate your relations
from the dark evils that binds them

'Machosi ya Simba' (tears of the lion) they speak every night where I was in Botswana...such a sad lament for their country and how it groans in every crack and crevass for a chance for justice in this world. Beautifully done. Love, Chez

A voice here that surges forward with emotion, with tempo and words that call to action; very reminescent of Noronha in these aspects; a call as if to the pride and responsibility of Africans to stand against the idea of oppression, very well done. Thank you for this fine entry into the contest and best of luck in the judging...PK
