Liberation Day If this is a moment Then it is momentous If this is a movement Then move with it Launch it from the hip Dip low and let go Crouching tiger Spring into motion And go If you want to be free Then let go If you want liberation Lead a personal revolution Become the person You always wanted to be Just do it What have you got to lose Poverty Pain Why are you saving a life You can’t stand Why wait for a hero When you can be your own Pay people you know and love To do the things you know They can do And charge them to do The things they know you can do Stop throwing away money Stop giving money to people Who don’t give it back Start giving gas money to friends Instead of cabs Carpools, jump into one Get some soil and seeds And plant some food Find a community garden Join it Can’t find one Make one Don’t like the police Keep your streets peaceful Neighborhood watch it Stop committing crimes against Your own people If your neighbor lives in your neighborhood Then they’re in the same situation as you Unite for a common good or agenda Community organize it Hate drugs Don’t sell ‘em Don’t buy ‘em Why sell something you don’t use And wouldn’t buy for personal use Need a favor Give a favor And collect one in return Love thy neighbor And call them friend Don’t like the education system Teach the truth to the youth Love to play but got no players Come outside and start a game Or join a game Don’t like what’s on TV Turn it off and do something else Video games too violent Play sports Play cards Play anything Just don’t play boy Retired and bored Start a day care Volunteer Teach a creative art class Tutor student in need Take on an apprentice Sit on your porch or sidewalk And police the block Plant a garden for someone Housesit for friends and neighbors Who have to go away Walk a neighbor’s dog While they’re at work Be a crossing guard Read to children at your local library Help young mothers through pregnancy Help young fathers through newborns Be a superhero Hum your own theme song Sing your own soundtrack Be your own back-up dancer Be a one human show Cause you’re a superstar Shine like you mean it Want change than be it Hate government than supercede it Act like you don’t need it Or you could even be it Run for office Any office Your own office A desk with your name on it A picture with a frame of a relative you love Or even whomever your God beloves Because no matter what you call gloves They still fit on your hands And your shoes go on you feet So get out your cape and beret Shout hooray And celebrate your liberation day By Empress Nzingha present Hunny-Brown Sunshyne

Thanks for the inspiration to this little poem :) This mystical power of the night Helps me to separate the wrong from the right So tell me, do you feel it too? This power, which enlightens my world-view In those nights, I start to realize I have to grow up, be strong and arise To claim, that there is so much wrong To change something, and chant a powerful song So speak up for the voiceless And fight for the defenceless Let us protect the helpless And be aware of our powerness! praises to the most high!

Good Peoms. Meditation: Can we remind all of us and others about the Afrikan Liberation Day to make as big as X-tians Xmas? Most afrikans in afrika have no idea of the great day and those who do are reminded by newsgroups that yesterday was afrikan liberation day as Iman was.
