The night has been long,
The wound has been deep,
The pit has been dark,
And the walls have been steep.

I gotta say this is the best poem ever cuz it had efforts.
Loved these lines: 'The hells we have lived through and live through still, Have sharpened our senses and toughened our will.' Maya is the name of an inspiration. Congratulations!
With freedom we rise and rise and rise, simply the best ever by the great poetess 10+++
This poem is a history; History of deep wounds; Where humanity repeatedly embraces the death Described here are about the oppressed people who were human beings but were not considered as human beings They have not been able to become independent under the rule of racists even though they have spent billions of moments to assert their rights
What can i say. Thats my mother who crossed the Atlantic and left me in a beautiful dark continent full of foreign induced calamity. It doesnt matter what people say we continue to rise and write poems righting the wrongs of the past. Beautiful poem/song from a beautiful woman. I clap my hands for her.
poets who are sincere and deep are never outta reach I beseech let her RISE even now though after her demise RISE poetess rise the world will stand by few have the strength as have thee poetess a times marvel are ye
The hells we have lived through and live through still, Have sharpened our senses and toughened our will. I find this line quite epigrammatic, and philosophical. The depth of this poem makes you nauseous.
I say, the night has been long, The wound has been deep, The pit has been dark And the walls have been steep. apartheid experiences .. well portryed.. tony
Let us come together and revise our spirits, Let us come together and cleanse our souls, .......yes, let' s so. A brilliant poem is nicely executed.
It's the iron will of a revolutionary to ponder the hells lived through
I say, the night has been long, The wound has been deep, The pit has been dark And the walls have been steep......../// beautiful and excellent poetic expression
What a beautiful quatrain used as a refrain repeated a couple of times. And how nicely the poem ends with a hopeful sentiment. Lovely.
" The night has been long The wound has been deep The pit has been dark And the walls have been steep" . A great poem with deep meaning.
A marcher forever looking over your shoulder toward the ever-receding past will never see your destination and the present possibilities will always be missed.
This poem captures the emotions of the toil black families of every status endures. Kindness starts with us
