Go Tell Brooks by Orikinla(m): 11:09am On Sep 15, 2008 |
Go Tell Brooks (In honour of Gwendolyn Brooks) Go tell Brooks That it is not yet redemption day Even if Martin Luther King, Jr, had his way For the prophecy is yet to be fulfilled Even though the Statue of Liberty has been unveiled. For we have to change the rule of the White hand If we must reach our Promise Land. Go tell Brooks That I have seen it in their White books The White books of their fears And I have seen it in their White looks The White looks of their tears. I know how they dread us The way their White ancestors dreaded Colossus. Go tell Brooks That we know the truth And the truth is our faith And our faith is our strength To dare their wrath The wrath of the earth Without even the fear of death. Go tell Brooks That we hear the echoes of the bell And we know all will soon be well. The beginning of our emancipation Is the beginning of our salvation. For I see the sun rising in the horizon Behold the coming of the new dawn. By Ekenyerengozi Michael Chima Before 6am on April 2, 1988. |
