Haunting flutes of ordeal dwindle
Diffident ears now keen to the sound-
Reverberance of dreams we dared not dream of,
And melodies of cultures, once shunned to oblivion.
Haunting rhythms of black feet dancing,
Stomping false identities, given.
Summoning smiles from days of yore.
Rewriting history on the grounds we tread on,
Haunting streams of black blood flowing-
Resuscitating veins of truth and might,
Who we are will fade no more,
Dawn at last.
