• "If We Must Die"
• 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 be shed
• In vain then even the monsters we defy
• Shall be constrained to honor us though dead!
• O kinsmen! We must meet the common foe!
• Though far outnumbered let us show us brave,
• And for their thousand blows deal one death blow!
• What though before us lies the open grave?
• Like men well face the murderous, cowardly pack,
• Pressed to the wall, dying, but fighting back!
• Claude McKay 1919
