16. SPIRITS UNCHAINED by Keorapetse Kgositsile.
Rhythm it is we walk to against the evil of monsters who try to kill the Spirit It is the power of this song that colors our every act as we move from the oppressor-made gutter
Gut it is will move us from the gutter It is the rhythm of guts blood-black, granite hard and flowing like the river or the mountains
It is the rhythm of the unchained Spirit will put fire in our hands to blaze our way to clarity to power to the rebirth of real men......
