Salute Me Poem by Thobile Masondo

Salute me soldiers
Salute me for battles I've won
Salute me for the pain I've conquered
Salute me now, before the sun goes down

Salute me warriors
Salute me for lives I've saved
Salute me for warriors not yet born
Salute me now before the sunsets

Salute me world
Salute me for the Einsteins born
Salute me for the Martin Luther Kings freeing the world
Salute me now before the full moon rises

Salute your mothers
Salute your sisters
Salute women's independence
Salute your heroines before the waters cover the earth
