I shan\u2019t bury you
\nFor you\u2019ll always live in my heart and thoughts.<\/p>\n
I shan\u2019t sing hymns for the peace of your soul
\nFor your soul\u2019ll always fight for peace.<\/p>\n
I shan\u2019t write obituaries
\nFor they\u2019ll be singing your praises in mines and factories.<\/p>\n
I shan\u2019t kneel down at your grave
\nFor I\u2019ll always salute you standing up.<\/p>\n
I shan\u2019t mourn and weep and grieve your death
\nFor I celebrate your life.<\/p>\n
Sing and celebrate for Comrade Oupa
\nBellow the battle cry.
\nWorking people of the World
\nAwake from neoliberal slumber
\nArise from capitalist darkness.
\nTear asunder the rainbowBEE nation
\nPaint it PanAfrican Red<\/p>\n
(Aunt) Vivian Syed, Bedford, Britain
