Father to Son

I am not here
to suffer again
not against the stone
nor against the wind

For the chains
have been removed
I am free
I am free
and my ancestors
shall
for eternity
live within me

The struggle
within the years
reverberate
like a tortuous song
played over
and over
and over
as the future's melody
removes my fears

It is now
that I rise
it is now
that I stand
even if I
must become one
with the land

For death
has no secrets
if history
is spoken true
and no yesterday
shall tomorrow be
for you
