Their kicking down the statues
Destroying grotesque monsters,
Deplorable figures of injustice and inequality
Spectres of an inglorious shameful age,
In moments of beauty and resistance
Marching to the beat of a different drum,
Exorcising the past, creating a brighter future
As symbols of terror, sink into deep waters,
Shed no tears, for images of exploitation
The shackles of colonialism and oppression,
Now defiant people, crush them to the ground
With power instead of whips and chains,
Tear down mantles of subjugation and horror
While voices of freedom keep on singing,
With strength beneath fingertips
Exhaling images of hate and deceit,
Sanctifying our surroundings, casting out evil
Delivering mercy, the joy of triumph's won,
let the empty spaces, be filled with spirit of liberation
Tomorrow's passion jubilantly dancing,
We breathe, as justice and equity change history
Cancelling out the signposts of hate,
Moving forwards, no longer submitting,
Soaring and spiralling on the breezes of life.
