A Fighter’s LinesI am old and wornand have lost all my strengthsufferingsand the history of the fight for independencehave forced sacrificesthat know no name or life
from the wheelchair for the rest of my
days I, body and energy crushedsee and cannot do much these times are too big a
challengefor the remnants of my crippled
yearsthe net of deceit spread
everywheredisturbs me.
In the name of justiceWake and form ranks sons of
our ancestorsBe braveAnd erect a wall of peopleStand up heirs of our freedom
I have no more voiceIt is you now who should
speak!
