It Is Not A Shame Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

It is not a shame to breakdown the door of inequality
It is not a shame to open the stinking can of worms
It is not a shame to stand on the side of the truth
It is not a shame to put your head on the altar of sacrifice
It is not a shame to ransack the house of corruption
It is not a shame to give humanity hope
It is not a shame to stand on the pedestal of Hope
It is not a shame to disrupt the prefabricated reality
It is not a shame to hold the placard of Hope
It is not a shame to surrender yourself before ridicule (Jesus did it)
It is not a shame to hold the torch of Hope
It is not a shame to open the house of change
It is not a shame to walk on the path of light
It is not a shame to remove all of your shackles and walk free
It is not a shame to liberate your mind from mental slavery
It is not a shame to stand against injustice
It is not a shame to be a warrior of peace
It is not a shame to open your heart for the benefit of others
It is not a shame to hold your bleeding heart in public
It is not a shame to remove dirt from the sea of truth
It is not a shame to stand against the present reality
And call a spade a spade
