The slave shall
break tight links of fettered chain,
The ill &
dying will eventually walk away from pain,
The suppressed
will tire of being so black-mantled,
The poor shall
rebel against being cruelly trampled,
The drudge shall
turn her back without single blink,
The drowning
shall decide to swim instead of sink,
The beasts shall
break open doors of pens & cages,
The workers shall
only toil for fairly paid wages,
The children
shall insist on their going to schools,
The politicians
will be forced to follow the rules,
The ignorant will
want their right to all the books,
The folk will
need no carrots upon dangling hooks,
The hungry shall take
the food which is their due,
The thirsty will quench
their thirst in more than dew,
The homeless shall
have blanket, bed, a roof & more,
The entire world will
insist that we all cease the war,
The end has come;
our earth is weary of being broken,
The people, unfettered,
have now finally awoken.
