In commemoration of the 38 birthday of the dead of this great person.
-WAR –
Until the philosophy which hold one race superior
And another
Inferior
Is finally
And permanently
Discredited
And abandoned –
Everywhere is war –
Me say war
That until there no longer
First class and second class
citizens of any nation
Until the colour of a man’s skin
Is of no more significance
than the colour of his eyes –
Me say war
That until the basic human rights
Are equally guaranteed to all
Without regard to race –
Dis a war
That until that day
The dream of lasting peace
World citizenship
Rule of international morality
Will remain in but a fleeting
illusion to be pursued
But never attained –
Now everywhere is war – war
And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes
that hold our brothers in Angola
In Mozambique
South Africa
Sub-human bondage
Have been toppled
Utterly destroyed –
Well, everywhere is war –
Me say war
War in the east
War in the west
War up north
War down south –
War – war –
Rumours of war
And until that day
The African continent
Will not know peace
We Africans will fight –
we find it necessary –
And we know we shall win
As we are confident
In the victory
Of good over evil –
Good over evil, yeah!
Good over evil –
Good over evil, yeah!
Good over evil –
Good over evil, yeah!
