Chapeau 2u Maya Poem by Alexandra Motschmann

You were the Georg Sand
of our time
where your color was the crime.

But you held the strength in your hand
and fought against this social disparity
with the inner feeling for humanity.

Your weapons were just words and your voice
to rise up to the essential-imperative self-choice.

You were an activist in the human right movement
and stood there as a bulwark of freedom
composed and calmed with an inner wisdom

It was a great worldwide accomplishment
demolishing all the old infrastructures
and creating lasting and integrity pictures

Your weapons were just words and your voice
to rise up to the essential-imperative self-choice.

With your “on the pulse of the morning”
you encouraged man to have a dream
and reflected the mainstream.

You are just an amazing great human being
full of love for people and gave them hope
and developed integrity on mankind’s slope

Your weapons were just words and your voice
to rise up to the essential-imperative self-choice.

Thanks a lot for your brave actions
showing that there are exceptions
you altered the course
in our human universe
May all your seeds find a place
and create an upright race.
