If all the dogs in my country
were less than dogs, I would say,
Like a Calypsonian, me one,
I and I both
Let us dub all our dogs Gatsha
And that other one
At the Place-of-the-Rocks
Who has disgraced grandmother's womb
We are saying a few simple things here
Like Neruda looking at the blood in the
streets
We are saying
Our mothers give birth to heroes every
day
We are saying
Botha's mother gives birth to rats
Every day
We are saying
VIVA COSATU VIVA
VIVA SACTU VIVA
Because we hear Killens' Thunder
We say with Langston Hughes
Good Morning, Revolution
