War

Until the philosophy which holds one race superior

And another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned,

Everywhere is war – me say war.

That until there is no longer

First class and second class citizens of any nation,

Until the color of a man's skin is of no more significance than the color of his eyes - me say war. [...]

And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes

that hold our brothers in Angola, in Mozambique, South Africa,

sub-human bondage have been toppled,

Utterly destroyed – Well, everywhere is war – me say war.

War in the east, war in the west,

War up north, war down south – War – war – Rumors of war.

And until that day, the African continent will not know peace.

We, Africans, will fight – we find it necessary –

And we know we shall win

As we are confident in the victory. [...]
