BLOOD IS BUT BLOOD ! A slain Lumumba is by far mightier than a living Lumumba -Nehru Repression is sill repression Rising, it must flop Blood is sill blood Spilling it must clot. Whether it clots on desert sands Or upon assassin’s hands On justice’s head or around shackled feet On injustice’s sword or on the wounded corpse Blood is still blood Spilling, it must clot. However much one lies in ambush Blood betrays butcher’s hideout Conspiracies may veil in thousand darkly mask Each blood drop ventures out with burning lamp on its palm. Tell oppression’s vain and blemished fate Tell cruelty’s crafty Imam Tell the UN Security Council Blood is crazy It can leap up to the cloak It is inferno, it can flare up to burn grain-stock. The blood you sought to suppress in abattoir Today that blood moves out into street Here an ember, there a slogan, there a stone Once blood comes to flows Bayonets are no avail Head, once it is raised Is not downed by law’s hail. What is about oppression? What is with its impression? Oppression is, all of it, but oppression From beginning to end Blood is still blood Myriad form it can assume Forms such as are indelible Embers such as are inextinguishable Slogans such as are irrepressible. |
