A trowey salute for all wuna
While you are able to breathe
for ya back like ya own fine pikin
You go continue for di shine
Your Energy no fit ever short
You who have taken upon the fate to uplift my state
get me abreast of the daily happenings
Of our beloved city, the planet to help me understand whats astake
Today I celebrate your words
For they have been a beacon of light
Shining bright, unveiling the hidden from sight
Exposing wrongs and shedding light on what is right
Nothing can resist your will
For you stake even your existence
on you stated purpose for good
Your passion, that fire than burns deep within
The flame that guides you as you seek to win
our hearts and minds with each line
Your dedication , a testament of your craft
Your commitment to truth and you love for facts
With each report, you weave a tapestry so fine,
A master piece of words, a work of art so fine
Your pen, the sword that cuts the noise and grime
With little or no pay, no social insurance
Lack of information act, Insecurity on all sides
Disrespect, In the face of oppression/danger
You still risk your life to run towards ,
standing tall, so you could relate every scenario to me,
Your voice raised, your pens never still
Making me conscious of my environment
and its challenges, my mind, for you believe
freedom of the press is freedom for all
If a person has not found what they are willing to die for
then they are not worth living is your mantra
as right information dessimination is your passion.
