Emerge
For every
lie ever sold you,
For
every bone crushed in you.
Bounce beyond
the limits with faith renewed/ N’
Emerge.
Blazing
like a meteor to ignite the globe
Straddling
elements of the celestial orb/ to
Emerge
As seedbed
of an incorruptible hybrid;
Poetic weapons
of war triumphing still/ When you
Emerge
To grasp
the everlasting torch;
To dump
the ashes of defeat in the lurch/ To
Emerge.
Raise the
strain over sea and land.
Soulful
cornfield ballads of yore made grand.
Peel
the silence with the majesty of your chorus and
Emerge.
Go scream
it on the mountain.
Let hope’s
breath sustain the refrain.
Lift up
a throaty phrase against the grain,
Emerge.
As lyric
of revolution’s symphony;
As the pathos
of a suspense-filled story.
Emerge
From beneath
the tide of human stain
To
stand firmly and occupy the terrain,
Seated at
the pinnacle of the food chain./ Then
Re-emerge
As you
reinvent the plot of time
With the
resolve of a mind refined.
Emerge
Unbowed
and stand true
In the
face of all hell’s industrious crew.
A
specter of a different brew.
Emerge
A foglamp
to a tribe in darkness;
An enduring
faucet of resourcefulness.
It’s
difficult to wait. It’s madness.
Emerge.
Into the
invigorating aura of a new day.
No time
for dithering only opportunity and space.
The time
is now, cast away the filthy veil
And in
the morning sunlight, lift up your face.
Emerge
From the
cocoon of change
And morph
into enemies of decay.
For the
day is young,
For the
calling is strong,
For your sakes we are killed all day long.
Emerge.
Rise to
meet the cause of a black history;
Stand up
to the call of a far-flung destiny;
Toss
off to the love of a limitless personality.
Emerge.
Unsheathe
the scimitar of dignity
And proceed
to the rescue of captive justice
From the
dungeons of inhumanity.
Nurture
infant peace
Spread your
wings.
Emerge.
On the
zenith heights of human perfection.
Emerge.
Rouse the
drooling giant from his stupor.
Emerge.
Hasten the
day of revolution.
Emerge.
Wake the
dawn of redemption.
Emerge.
