Title: ODE TO THE MAU MAU Post by: Tyehimba on April 18, 2003, 06:29:03 AM ODE TO THE MAU- MAU
Oh noble tribe of Kikuyu, I salute you Your bravery have shone like a beacon for Afrikan Liberation Out of your midst emerged a great warrior We resisted the imperialistic plunders Yes, his name is Jomo Kenyatta, the backbone of the Mau- Mau Who journeyed to the heights of Mount Kenya Oh Mau Mau, you forced the world to pay attention To the atrocities of colonialism Oh Mau- Mau you destroyed the oppressors who raped your nation You dealt with the uncle toms who betrayed the revolution Your warriors will forever remain a shining symbol of Afrikan resistance The sadistic colonial system could have never conquered you Your spirit was too strong for them to overcome May the Kikuyu be righteous and never accept anything less than full freedom May you be united in your struggle to rebuild Alkebulan May you be blessed for the sacrifice that you expended to upend the mind-benders of the global superpowers The spear of the nation is burning The tide is turning Do you see it growing? Do you see it spreading? Where are you heading? have you forgotten the mother that raised you That nursed when others wanted to hearse you No more groveling in the SCENTED mud of the oppressors praise Now is the time to raise ourselves in the Divine image Never give up the revolution Never give up hope Dreadlock Attack, no turning back May your spirit continue to destroy ignoble regimes that lean towards brutal sadistic means to perpetuate the New World Order of hate Freedom or Death, power to the people NYABINGHI POWER by Ras Tyehimba |
