KWENU! Our culture, our future |

For My Son, Arinze Paving the way for you and Nkiru's generation Life has been but a struggle So many barriers, so many hurdles Obstacles placed by man For his fellow man
Struggle, struggle, struggle Never ending pain, never ending suffering Privation, deprivation and starvation In a world so full of bounties What a foolishness! This should not be; never should it have been Son, it is the place of man to fight his oppressor and maintain his self dignity Life without dignity is not worth living There is no life without dignity and Life without dignity is no life
There won't be any future for your generation if my generation fails in its duty Son, I will not disappoint you and Nkiru Nor will I disappoint myself A man has got to be a man Not a coward
I have girded myself for battle For a long and sustained battle The pen is my only weapon now Information my closest ally, but Never will I hesitate to employ the gun If I fall in the struggle Never weep for me son Rejoice for me instead For living and dying a man
The struggle has now begun I will fight the white man, and I will fight the black man The yellow man too For the dignity of man and For the liberation of the human spirit There is no life without dignity and Life without dignity is no life
So should you, my son.
