Bookman,You are the man!
You are a shepherd, an
educator,
A warrior, a healer and a
leader
A preacher like you is so
hard to find.
Really, you are one of a
kind.
You have told me that I am
not inferior;
That my race is not a
barrier
You have made me believe in
myself.
Never ever will I be
somebody’s serf.
My heart and my soul, you
have saved.
Thanks to you, I will never
be enslaved.
Your name sounds like a
thunder,
And your eyes spark like a
lighting
The black race will never
remain under
Oppression but will continue
fighting.
The enemy trembles like a
leaf
When he hears your name
Because you have a beef
With his dirty aim
When, like a lion roars
your voice,
From the mountain resonates
a big noise
A noise that makes rivers
overflow,
A noise that sinks the
enemy’s morale low
I do not celebrate Columbus
Day
Because Christopher Columbus
was a murderer
I am proud to celebrate
Bookman’s Day
Because Bookman was a
freedom fighter
Since the day of your
uprising,
The flowers of freedom have
never stopped blossoming.
Bookman, today Haiti is
thanking you.
The Americas are grateful to
you.
Africa remembers you.
Asia salutes you.
Oceania is learning about
you.
Antartica
is waiting for you.
Europe respects you.
The
whole world is celebrating you. |
