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
