跋：让诗歌的火光照耀天空 冷先桥／ 323
So offerings to forefathers could send up renewed praise
All wishes had to be enclosed in night's blackness
Before they could pass beyond life and death
His setting forth from here was ordained by fate
Henceforth he would bind his own life
To millions oflives among the black crowd
He did not live for himself, was always ready
For the self-sacrifice that would liberate a race
Setting forth from here, he had to make choices
To choose death-because survival was just a random chance
To choose parting-because togetherness belonged to the past
To choose exile-because the hounding was far from over
To choose brick walls-because a bird could fly only in dreams
To choose outcry-because silence was slaughtered in the streets
To choose handcuffs-because other arms needed to be set free
To choose captivity-for countless others who needed a breath of air
To embrace such a choice meant there was no turning back
This choice he had to make would take time
Not one day or year, but a long stretch of seasons
He did not have the slightest way of knowing
When the day he dreamed ofwould really come
Who could have known?That this tribal leader's son
Would choose such a road, from that place, starting that day
That he was the one, born to change 20th century history
Yes, he set forth on that road, and what kept him company.
