Severe the shout of freedom is,
bringing valour to the heart of one
and horror to the other.
One stands tall beating his chest,
casting shadow on the one below – stun,
with only a gun as his cover,
but no bullet can pierce a heart
that pumps that pumps the blood of many –
the blood of one.
Though flesh can be scarred,
though blood can be spilled,
no dusk of man can darken
his dawn,
the sunrise of freedom...

that pumps that pumps - is this deliberate?

Yes it is, just for the rhythm.

i can only assume you must be living in a country where there is widespread oppression?

No, I was just watching the movie 'Amistad' about slavery of black people in America and how after a lot of court battles it was finally decided to free them and let them live as normal people.
