Maria’s Tears

By Chambi Chachage (@Udadisi)

Rattled is she
Yet bold is Maria
From Dar to Nairobi
A luta continua

Near yet so far
From home bittersweet home
Longing for a just place
To live and not die

She is a survivor
A human rights defender
For you and me—and her
Crying for a beloved country

Live on Maria
So they calmly say
To fight another day
Them keyboard warriors

Trembling with indignation
At every injustice á la Che
Is not just a slogan
Tis a way of life

Comrades in arms
Walk hand in hand
Fighting injustice
Wherever it is
