'Legacy' poem

Great Heart will not be denied :-
Know that I am at your side,
on the day that the moon fails,
And the sun must hide his pride.

And when i die ,
let them say,
I personified the better angels ,
of the human spirit,
Let them say,
I lived in the time ,
Of Obama ,
and the heirs of Ghandi ,
Martin Luther King,
and Mandela.

Let generations yet unborn ,
Speak of us ,
The heirs of Eric Williams ,
Errol Barrow and Norman Manley,
and speak of how we used the gifts ,
of our forefathers,
To build them a better life.

Let them say ,
we lived in revolutionary times,
When the East swung from far right to far left,
and the land of the Pharoahs was no longer ruled by a tyrant,
and although the people starve,
and bleed for their freedom,
They die dignified ,
Deified .

And when the Jasmine fires,
Of truth burn out,
Let us blacken our hearts,
with ebony ash ,
and remember those ,
who went before us.

Great Hearts cannot be denied,
For the day man's spirit,
is overcome by man's pride,
Is the day truth is belied,
Justice defied ,
If that day comes i hope to die,
And upon my tombstone will lie
These words for those that survive :
Peace , Truth , Love.
