i know i will die one day
i know they might bury body
and a grave without name,
for the love of my people,
i am willing to die,
i have come this far,
and
i am not looking back,
for the love of my people,
i will lay my life on the line,
i dont know if i one day,
i will see us reach our freedom
so much for million man marchs
the talks broke out,
what are we willing to do
for the price of freedom?
for the love of my people
iam tired of smooth talkers
like al sharptons,'
jesse jacksons
man ina good suit
like minister farakhan
who speak
when actions is louder than words
for the love of my people,
i dont know if i will reach the promised land,
for the love of my people, i will fight
knowing,they might kill me without trace
and hide the evidence,
i will look up to the sky
and say
raise our swords up high
either we live or die!
we can talk about reparations
no reparations without repratiation
revolution now! or revolution later
for the love of my people
i am willing to sacrifice
so many times i put my life on the line.
i know when i cross to the other
side,
in the spirit realms
my honourable ancestors will bless me,
they know,i dreamt of all of us being free
just for the love of my people.
i would pick armed struggle,
because,if they drive an axe
to somebodys brain and treat us
like animals,
then... we have to analyze where do we stand
and where do we go from here?
for the love of my people,i ask you!
please! refuse to live in fear!

| I really liked this alot. Often times we don't have any real motivation for the way that we feel or the things that we do. In this poem you spoke of your motivation with an intensity that I truly enjoyed. "For the love of my people". For so many, that love has fallen by the wayside. We don't even identify with one another like our people used to do. This was a really tight piece and I'm glad you shared it.
