Resist and Exist 2007 - Dhoruba Bin Wahad
March 30th, 2007Lyrics to Dhoruba Bin Wahad;(This is a song about Richard Moore now known asDhoruba Bin Wahad. He was in prison for 19 years For a crime he didn't commit. He was framed by Counter Intelligence Program. It's important that we Support political prisoners. Because if we don't One day you might be a political prisoner andTheir will be no movement to support you)Locked inside the dungeonSouls separated by concrete cagesDesperate for human contactDesperate for what once wasNow forced to serve hard timeCompliments of the dirty handsThat robbed him due to his beliefsHis faith in mankind and the human spiritFramed by CoIntelProThis is the cost of faithPhysical and mental abuseTheir batons against his skullTheir ignorant words against his heartTheir eye always upon himWaiting for the chanceTo attack him once againPrison politics -- definition of racismAnd as the headline readsIn persuading attemptsThat this man is your enemyAnd so the threats began to flyFrom the very souls as wellEnslaved within this hell: The prison complexLike a dog without a homeThe guard besides the door glares upon his familyIn disgust and self righteously assumed superiorityHow can he from within this dirty placeBring his eye to lookInto the eyes on the other side of the plexi-glassIt feels like manhood stolen awayWhere did it go? When did it go?Framed by CoIntelproHe spoke. "Prison, the ultimate formOf human torture."So desperate for his spiritual connectionOutside his prison wallsHe continues, "Human BeingsNeed each other to grow"Alone, drowning inside the insane thoughtsThat begins to fill the head of a beingWho is enslaved within the concrete walls, steel bars"There were times I woke up cryingIn the silence of the night."Nothing but timeTo search the roots of howHuman nature could have concludedTo come to this placeFramed by CoIntelProWhere in forgetting the privilegeOf their own free handsLocked chains around their fellow manHis young life, his dignityThoughtlessly tossed away"His crime?" the children askHe fed the hungryDrove away the drug dealersFought against hypocrisy, police brutalityFramed by CoIntelPro19 years -- injustice servedBut his struggle became all the strongerCould we ever understand the pain he suffered?Beaten, tortured, abusedBut his struggle grewHis spirit soaring-aboveThe evil systems strikes to tear him downFramed by their false chargesHastily dreamt up in fear of his power"Free at last" we cry out loudFor finally he walks the street againChoosing to continue where his workLast left off many years agoDhoruba Bin WahadHe is the spirit of the people
