Poetry By Lonnie Johnson
YOU'RE NOT SO HEAVY
As i rise from bed everyday
Its done with great intensity.
Just knowing my purpose is great.
committed to freeing our minds.
You're not so heavy.
Struggling on is an everyday thing
When won it can make our hearts sing
It has great power for most
as it gives a mighty ring.
You're not so heavy
Oppression has cast its ugly spell
upon
the people, and their struggle seem
unbearable sometimes;
but strong people we are.
You're not so heavy
We all are an extended family.
Our links and roots run deep all across
the
plains of the Motherland to the
Northern Shores of Northern America.
People you're not so heavy
Lets work together to save the
babies, children, people of the land.
Because they're not so heavy.
We've helped and carried
one another, we shared with one another.
We loved one another.
Now its time to stand by one another.
We are not so heavy
You're not so heavy.
I am not so heavy.
We all are not so heavy.
Lets carry each other.
