Honoring Mandela on World Human Rights Day

The synchronicities abound. 

We honor Nelson Mandela on World Human Rights Day.

Until the philosophy which hold one race superior 

And another 

Inferior 

Is finally 

And permanently 

Discredited 

And abandoned - 

Everywhere is war - 

Me say war. 

That until there no longer 

First class and second class citizens of any nation 

Until the colour of a man's skin 

Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes - 

Me say war. 

That until the basic human rights 

Are equally guaranteed to all, 

Without regard to race - 

Dis a war. 

That until that day 

The dream of lasting peace, 

World citizenship 

Rule of international morality 

Will remain in but a fleeting illusion to be pursued, 

But never attained - 

Now everywhere is war - war. 

And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes 

That hold our brothers in Angola, 

In Mozambique, 

South Africa 

Sub-human bondage 

Have been toppled, 

Utterly destroyed - 

Well, everywhere is war - 

Me say war. 

War in the east, 

War in the west, 

War up north, 

War down south - 

War - war - 

Rumours of war. 

And until that day, 

The African continent 

Will not know peace, 

We Africans will fight - we find it necessary - 

And we know we shall win 

As we are confident 

In the victory 

Of good over evil - 

Good over evil, yeah! 

Good over evil - 

Good over evil, yeah! 

Good over evil - 

Good over evil, yeah!
