  Contest by Joseph May

We Shall Overcome Oh !"We shall overcome someday." Going through many obstacles : We’ll succeed, even if delayed. We must blow out all the shackles. But " I know that I do believe." Oh ! "We shall overcome someday ." Our earnest effort sure to give strength to win at end, I must say. Always righteousness to play : " We shall be alright someday" ! Yes. Oh ! "We shall overcome someday ", It is certain, no need to guess. Oh ! " We shall live in peace someday" always bathed under pristine ray. For victory every breath to pray ! Oh! "We shall overcome someday ."

An apt transformation of her song Anisha. Your version has become a wonderful cry for hope and determination. Worded beautifully, and rhymed with flowing smoothness . A poem to be savored. I applaud you ! Best regards, Wen
