A Tribute To Selma

A Tribute To Selma Today America commemorates The historic 50th anniversary of Selma. On that fateful day a peaceful march For voting rights turned bloody with police brutality. An emotion of gratitude and respect Rises in my heart for all those, Who rise with courage against injustice, Pave and guide the way for fairness, March, struggle and unite us all In an innate, common bond for the Triumph of shared human spirit. Whether it is Selma for voting rights, Jalianwalla Bag for national freedom, Or Sharpeville rising against apartheid laws, We owe our freedom and liberty To these fearless souls, who without Any stick or gun, shield or sword, Stand with determination in their hearts To bridge the gap between Freedom and slavery, by the Sheer strength of their will, and Righteousness of their thoughts. The power of their soul embedded In their character, so brave and willing To lay down their lives to inspire others, To rise against injustice and cruel humiliation Of fellow human beings all around the world. The face of evil hidden in each and every place, gets crushed each and every time, again and again, By their most humble yet courageous efforts. Each of us owe our respect and gratitude To those who died so we could live. Who suffered so we could be relieved of suffering. Whose vision for us was to have What they were deprived off. Who fought so we could taste the fruit Of liberty, so forbidden to them. Let those who sacrificed be never forgotten, Never be away from our thoughts. Let their vision of future inspire us all Let light of freedom shine upon us all. 3.7.2015.
