Come and Hope with me

By Mongane Wally Serote

In that day and in that life

We lived in dreams and also in desire

We hoped and believed

Even when the stern sky hovered above us

And the day crushed and popped our time

Turning the sky crimson and the night cast upon us

Dark and cold shadows

We lived in dreams and hopes

Strong

We sang

We chanted

We jumped and danced

And we were aware of the steep and slope of the road

And of the load on our shoulders

With skill

We lived in dreams and desire

Loving life with our large hearts

Even though nostalgia like fire

Burnt and burnt and burnt and burnt our gut

All these

We mounted, jumped and chanted

Our eyes fixed on the road

—SONG—

The screams of the women

The howls of the weak

The cries of the children

Who can hardly speak

We hear the sorrow

And the pain

Voices entangled in chains

Remember

The passion of our hearts

Remember

The blinding ache and pain

When we heard the hysterical sobs

Of our little children crying against fate

Which violated them and offered them no life

Or the frightening cry of a man

Who climbs life with no hope in his heart

We heard these. We knew them. We absorbed them

But we surged forward

—SONG—

And we shall dream of the time

When the storms will calm

And the sun will shine

We’ll bring back our golden sky

So let’s live life with our heads held high

Knowing…

Knowing that life is a promise and that promise is us

The promise lives in the staring eye of a song.

We believe

We live

We hope

Come and Hope with me
