Rise like a Phenix

As Bad times approach Thick and Fast,

As Black memories haunt from the past,

As we see the flag of life flying at half mast,

As we get despondent and sure not to last,

As we defy all pitfalls and roadblocks

And as we take a beating at all stops

Let us rise up and make one last pledge,

Motivate ourself that we still have the edge.

Life is sure, not a rosy bed,

It is a thorny path instead,

Depends on how many blows we can take,

Inspite of failures,what best we can make.

As the fatal pressure to win,upon us,mounts,

How we handle it is all that finally counts,

Lets this not melt away our steely resolve,

Lets stand up and redeem ourselves

Lets not live crest fallen with a spirit damp,

It is the difference between a loser and a champ,

It only takes a spark to again light the lamp,

To start galloping again on life’s ramp
