My Colour Never Gets Tired

By Brother Biko

being traumatized dehumanized despiritualized disconnected

yet my colour never gets tired

passed thru colonialism passed thru slavery

thru the hands of jesus mohammed to be damned eternally

yet my colour never gets tired

being beaten raped hired fired

yet my  colour never gets tired

passed thru wars hunger diseases

manmade catastrophies and crisis

yet my colour never gets tired

being pinched stretched bleached discoloured

yet my colour never gets tired

passed thru ruthless invaders brainless leaders

mind destroyers liars reverend pastors

yet my colour never gets tired

fraustrated humiliated segregated denigrated

yet my colour never gets tired

buried in the atlantic sea ripped from mothers belly

life is still ugly life is still bloody

yet my colour never gets tired

tied shackled manacled fettered

yet my colour never gets tired

my colour is still fighting to be free

and  my colour shall be free for the world to see
