Never Let Go Poem by Mwenyeji Spikes

The upside is on the downside
Defying gravity that pulls our hopes down
Our relentless struggle to finally come up
On our path to freedom and emancipation
The light dwindles further and further away
A different kind of danger surmounts

The hopes of what wed become
Now seem something distant and strange
From the view down here the streak is dimming
A thin line between dreams and goals
Yet the line; work stands awaiting to be done
Stand up for what we believe
Never letting go off our hopes

Our feet might get bruised
Our soles might wear out on the journey
But our hands will forever be clasped tightly together
Our unity, our passion, our drive
Whats ours will never be taken from us
Deep within our hearts our dreams will rest
Never letting go of our vision
