Just Imagine
Imagine being labeled unworthy for the land you were born upon.
Imagine being marginalized because your skin is of darker hue.
Imagine being excluded even though you did no wrong.
Just imagine it was you, just imagine it was true.
Imagine a class system that labels you inferior.
Imagine being classified irrelevant to cast a vote.
Imagine being educated to perform menial tasks of labour.
Just imagine the hurt, just imagine your voice unheard.
Now imagine a revolution driven only by peace.
Now imagine compensation without protest
Now imagine a generation returning to where they belong
Just imagine the privilege of a righteous inheritance.
Now imagine the dignity that was lost now restored
Now imagine a healing and all illnesses cured
Now imagine redemption of land with a peaceful hand
Just imagine......
