Never Count Me Out

Never count me out Even on my knees Even around the bees Don't count me out Even engulfed in tears Have absolutely no fears Be aware of the plot Even in profound pain Let it pour, let it rain This ain't the last bout I will come back again Even in deep piercing pain Until I win, until I gain The tight fight, the right battle Until I sit straight on the saddle Never count me out I will find the correct routes Even after the last rites Don't ever count me out I will come back again Even in extreme pain I will block and tackle Until I win the last battle Don't count my people out Until we win again and again Never count our people out. P.S. This poem is dedicated to Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights Movements. The struggle continues. We're still trying to reach the mountaintop.
