This Is Us

​

By Michael Chitawo

​

We are but visionaries

Marching forward

Of dynasties told and

Bloody battlefields brawled

We are, a land of promise

 

The dawn of a new

era

The fulfillment of

dreams

Resolve and liberty, on the

horizon

 

Here comes a legion of

achievement

No longer war torn, bitter or

Scorned by the sorrows of war

Rather, harmonized and standing tall

 

Leaping and surging forth

Transcending the bar and

beyond

Flags raised high and

billowing

 

Of milk and honey once told

Recalling refuge renaissance resilience

now laden

The epitome of novelties

 

With shouts of joy showing our strength that salvation is near

And strides made with

dignity

This generation glows beaming with its black beacon of hope blinding all doubt

 

A sea of voices arises

Declaring hard earned

victory

We have overcome, we have overcome. This is us.
