Emerge





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.
