Let me cry my heart out

at the corner of the street

and vent my anger and frustration

and let no one tell me

that I cannot cry

that I cannot sing songs of lamentation on the sidewalk.

Let me shout my voice out

at the busy intersection of the market

and bemoan my hunger and thirst

and let no one tell me

that I cannot shout

that I cannot bewail my deprivation at the marketplace.

Let me be

let me savor the gift of life

let me freely breathe the morning air

and safely walk the dusty path to the Bantaba

and join the choir of villagers

with their rhythmic chorus of defiance

and let no one tell me

that I cannot be defiant

that I cannot wave the banner of protestation at the Bantaba.

Let me cry

let me shout

and let me be

and let no one tell me

that I cannot keep the peace

that I cannot be the custodian of the truth that set me free.
