Are those who have passed on, accessible in any form? Many believe so; many do not. Stand by ...

Story so far: Children want to assist other children, with Aids, in Africa. Injustice stands in the way. Will the voice of Justice rise up and assist such children? December at University of NSW, Science Theatre will reveal the answer.

The Long Walk to Justice begins inside a soul

When love for your fellow man

Redefines life’s goal

…… and the buffalo begin to run

 

You recognise a path of right

A violated human right

Your blood runs thicker in your veins

..… and the lion roars again

 

Justice gathers seekers, like honey gathers bees

Like antelope take to the slope

Attracted by the breeze

But when that breeze becomes a storm

its like buffalo on the run

Then injustice, beware !

The day of reckoning’s come

Injustice, beware !

The day of reckoning’s come

 

Amandla !

Ngawethu !

iAfrika !

Mayibuye !

 

The Long Walk to Justice goes where famine dies

Where poverty is no longer

And we heed the babies’ cries

…… and the rains wash away tears

 

Its when judgment’s made for act or deed

No longer made for colour or creed

And pride in being, is natural

…... and the wilderbeeste sleeps serene

 

The Long Walk to Justice is a journey with an end

But injustice breeds like river reeds

‘Must be met and culled anew, my friend

……… but this day, the breeze is on the rise

 

The journey’s end is found each time

just one person breaks their binds

and human dignity again breathes free

.….  thank you for walking with me, my friend.
