Freedom fighter

Through boom and bust,

Remain steadfast as a rock.

Through heat, haze and dust

And uncertainty’s mock,

Remain unwavering, undeterred,

For we travel the twilight zone

Of a throng confused and ill-prepared,

But Sitting pretty on power’s throne.

 Hold their views uncomfortable sway

The bit between their teeth, a stranglehold.

Our ideas are their ready prey,

The manner of hope’s suffering, a sad manifold.

Stand strong and shine those eyes already keen,

Prevail you must, what choice have we got?

Pray, do full justice to where you’ve been

And deliver lasting victory, sweet and hard-fought.
