Till Justice Be Born by Nobody: 12:58am On May 12, 2013 |
Till Justice Be Born You can chain man, But you can’t chain truth. You can destroy life, But you can’t destroy hope When it is bound to live. You may hurt those who seek Justice, But you forget, Justice is a friend of Nemesis, And though justice come not for us, He comes in Nemesis garments. You may stain the honest With accusations, You may cover the past with mud, But you cannot cover our eyes, For now, we have chosen to leave It open. And now we see your dirty games, And though you try to silence Our voices, Still it will rise, Till it sinks into Our brethren’s hearts. Our voices that Chant not your praises, But voices that will come To your doorsteps, For all nature’s gift You’ve squeezed from us, For all you have plundered. But then it won’t be, The voice of the powerless, But one salted With hot indignation, And we will rid our land of you, The knowledge of our rights, Will drown the last of you. But now we wait, watching you. And still we silently warn, Though many days be for you, And you gloat in satisfaction, But one day, Just one day, Will be our time, And Justice will be born. |
