We Shall Win All Battles As We Rise Poem by Hebert Logerie

As a people, we fall and we rise
Like the Sun, like the eagles in the sky
At this juncture, we have tired thighs
But we are still standing as we cry:

Liberty or death; Black lives matter
We will fight for things to be better
For all of our brothers and sisters
As we turn over rocks and craters

We will eventually chase away the flies
That humiliate, hurt, sting and kill our people
And defeat the goons with the peppery purple
Tongue. We will win all battles as we rise.

P.S. A tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. - I have a Dream,57th. Anniversary speech.
