Long Walk To Freedom Poem by Dr. Ahmed Gumaa Siddiek

Wait not for freedom
For freedom do not wait
Just walk and haste
Do not be late
It will never come to knock your gate
And will never be served on plate
So, it is your fate, to walk to freedom my son
To have your freedom done,
You will have to walk or would better run
Towards and beyond the Sun
tossing your head in the air
Like an eagle, you never look down
You never yield to the ground
Your eyes, a Greyhound's **
Would never miss his prey
But looks forward
Towards his reward
With sharp eyes
Able to pierce through the midnight
And ready to fight
Freedom - my son - is your right
It is your natural right
But it is far and high
Far as the red star in the sky
But, it is within your reach
If you are keen to walk and fetch
