Valentines Day Song

I'd never heard of Retta before but I love her sound in this song.
The soundtrack and music video are on point.

the Sun on this rubble (a poem by Dennis Brutus)

The Sun on this Rubble

Dennis Brtus

The sun on this rubble after rain.

Bruised though we must be

some easement we require

unarguably, though we argue against desire.

Under jackboots our bones and spirits crunch

forced into sweat-tear-sodden slush

–now glow-lipped by this sudden touch:

–sun-stripped perhaps, our bones may later sing

or spell out some malignant nemesis

Sharpvilled* to spearpoints for revenging

but now our pride-dumbed mouths are wide

in wordless supplication

–are grateful for the least relief from pain

–like the sun of this debris after rain.

*Sharpville is the name of a township in South Africa in which the local citizens were massacred after speaking out against aparthied.
