O Ye Negro

O Ye Negro




O ye Negro
Sing praises of thy selves
because thou have survived even in times of distress
Some tried to depress thee but you conquered


With thy colour
You have won the fight
Even in shame you stood firm


O ye negro do not forget the past
Your father's father
The songs that gave you strength
The beliefs that kept you together
The home that nurtured you.
Do not forget


Do not forget the seas you crossed
The tears that went down your under wears
The love you lost 
Do not forget


Do not forget these
Because in these lies the strength of generations to come
Whisper in their ears
"We go no where"
