COMRADE LOVE NEEDED Sorrow of Love is hard to bear stretches my bones and I cannot go on A need for comrades to speak about Love lost their ability to love can only love for moments When these moments come they devour them like rare chocolate not enjoying them My comrades have physical beauty, Spirit beauty I doubt they question commitment and honesty it is their own they question We do not need hate to be involved in the Struggle for Truth We need Love I see comrades becoming mechanical we strive for a Distant Star that Star beckons with Love Comrades ! Love is needed ! ©GhairoDanielsPoetry Bellville,SA 1980 (This little poem was written when I was 18yrs old as a young student activist at the University of the Western Cape,SA. I subsequently read it at mass meetings at high schools throughout the province, as part of the student insurrection, enthralling high school pupils. Then, of course I could read it with a lot of fire. I understand that it is a channelled poem as I wrote it in 5mins flat during an activist meeting)
