No
Longer Shall
No longer shall the seeds of our forefather lay
dormant.
No longer shall this soil so rich and prosperous lay bear.
No longer shall the prosperity of the harvest pass us by.
For today we have planed the seeds of hope for
ourselves and generations to come.
For today the soil is tilled and the crops are blooming.
For today the hard work of our labor has seen a fruitful harvest.
No longer shall our lives be filled with hopelessness
No longer shall the voice of those that say we can’t, echo in our lives
No longer shall our lives be dictated by the limits of race, color, creed,
or nationality.
For today we fight for the lives of all that we hold
dear on this green earth.
For today we live in hope and shall die knowing that we have lived out our
true existence.
For today the road ahead is filled with new opportunities to live in
prosperity.
No longer shall the halls of injustice incase your sons
and daughters
No longer shall lady justice tip the scale in favor of other.
No longer shall the eyes of truth and justice lay uncovered
For today I am the bearer of hope for myself and for
generations yet to come.
For today I fight so that the seeds of change can be sawn in the valley of
hope
For today I stand proud in the face of despair, injustice, and hopelessness
and I can shout from the mountain tops. I am no longer your slave.
In the words of a great musician Buju Banton; Lord give
I strength and never let I fail to live out the greater part of my days,
give I strength.” |
