to p .k.

your part you played
a standing ovation this is
those sacrifices in zambia
you could have chosen comfort
relative comfort of middle class

on the side of the down trodden
you, joshua nkomo and others
the dangers of enemy fire present
parcel bombs, car bombs and other weapons
the racist regime had to be dislodged

you will never walk alone
ndabaningi sithole is there with you
many they have passionately hated
you dared to sing these dirges
forsaking the friuts of sycophancy
posterity will treasure these living lessons
