We Shall Win All Battles As We Rise

As a people, we fall and we rise Like the Sun, like the eagles in the sky At this juncture, we have tired thighs But we are still standing as we cry: Liberty or death; Black lives matter We will fight for things to be better For all of our brothers and sisters As we turn over rocks and craters We will eventually chase away the flies That humiliate, hurt, sting and kill our people And defeat the goons with the peppery purple Tongue. We will win all battles as we rise. P.S. A tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. - I have a Dream,57th. Anniversary speech.
