Dennis Brutus poem: A star of freedom Dennis Brutus (2008)

There will come a time we believe
when the shape of the planet  
and the divisions of the land
will be less important.
We will be caught in a glow of friendship
A red star of hope
will illuminate our lives
A star of hope
A star of joy
A star of freedom

~Dennis Brutus (2008) the South African poet, a fighter against apartheid which had led to prison and exile
