If we must die by Claude Mckay
If we must die, let it not be like hogs
Hunted and penned in an inglorious spot,
While round us bark the mad and hungry dogs,
Making their mock at our accursed lot,
If we must die, O let us nobly die,
So that our precious blood may not ve shed,
In vain; then the monsters we defy
Shall be constrained to honor us through dead!
O kinsmen! We must meet the common foe!
Though far outnumbered let us not show us brave,
And for their thousand blows deal one deathblow!
What though before us lies the open grave?
Like men we’ll face murderous, cowardly pack,
Pressed to the wall, dying, but fighting back!
