Cry Rage
A South African Poem by James Mathews

Freedom's child
you have been denied too long
fill your lungs and cry rage
step forward and take your rightful place
you're not going to grow up
knocking at the back door
for you there will be no traveling
third class enforced by law
with segregated schooling and sitting on the floor
the rivers of our land, mountain tops
and the shore
it's yours, you will not be denied anymore
Cry rage, freedom's child.
