Freedom and Love and Peace
oppression is an anchor
African Skies
oppression is an anchor
always pressing downwards
like a dagger in the heart.
the big boss bullies the big man
who bullies the small man
who bullies his wife
who bullies their child
who bullies the small children
who bully themselves
like a dagger in the heart
the nation bullies the poor ones
who bully the different ones
who bully the more different ones
who bully the more more different ones
who bully themselves
like a dagger in the heart
the big nations bully the small nations
who bully the smaller nations
who bully their people
who bully their women
who bully other women
who bully themselves
like a dagger in the heart
so….
turn around
turn around that message of oppression
turn around
divide the multiplicity of oppression
turn around
lift someone up instead
because…
love is a sunbeam
peace is like sunlight
and freedom, freedom like the skylark, flies upward
freedom flies upward
