Vale Bobbi Sykes - A strong black woman...

Final Count

The children are dying /
In terrible numbers of
Malnutrition and
Related diseases and /
We do not count their numbers
Amongst the brave dead of
Our revolution /
Yet their blood is surely spilled
As though shot upon the street /
Had they lived
Long enough to die.

We must count them /
We must count them /
For if we do not
They will have died in vain.i
