THE PREDATORY BARBARIC ABYSSINIAN 

EMPIRE 

FALLS APART FROM WITHIN

As the sun rises in the east
and sets in the west, Empires, large or small, rich or poor, dependent or
independent created by invaders, conquerors, and  colonizers
had fallen apart, and shall fall apart independent of
time and place.
That is what history teaches to those who are in a position to
learn from it.
Thus,
it is not a question of how, but when that one of the
poorest predatory barbarian Abyssinian (Amhara and Tigre mainly), the 
contemporary fake  Ethiopian Empire created
as an
extension of the Western colonials  project
during the Scramble for
Africa   shall fall apart.
 
Today, while we “thank”  Europe plus United States of America), for the world they created, most significantly In African continent. They created artificial demarcations, the so called “boundaries” like a chessboard. They established a clientelist flag-anthem
dependent “Quasi-states” in
their own image  that Mother Africa did not get rid of it, and here children suffers from it in each corner of the continent to the very date. She planted a political schizophrenia of  divide and rule that lead to endless wars and genocides. 

 They began in breeding
dictators, authoritarian regimes,  warlords, tyrants, military juntas and brought them in power, provided them with modern firearms.killers train killers, advisesfinancial supports, secure   loans and credits for them. They protect them from international criminal courts and justices
so far they are profitable from   mother Africa’s  resources and human power independent   of their criminal acts,  the genocides they conducted,the money they stole and saved  mostly in  Europe such as “Swiss-the safe heaven of stolen by African dictators and tyrants.

    
 Apropos Europe is the second
smallest and the most resourceless of all the continents in the world, there
were some coals, nothing more. Therefore, all that she needed (and still needs)
to develop, to survive, to fulfill her voracious needs had to (or must) come
from abroad,and Africa is an Alpha, the second largest and  the richest continent  on the planet. Just, think for second  Europe  without Africa and vis-avis. It explains, in a somewhat macabre manner, the brutality, crime
act of genocides and  ethnocides  committed by the Europeans who went
out into the world to acquire land, resources and wealth which were in turn
shipped back to develop Europe and by extension the USA. 


Europe and the USA  were also
the most known continents that conducted internal genocides (killing
and physical annihilation) and ethnocides
(systematic destruction or elimination of otherness; faith, culture
identity) within their geographical boundaries and  abroad; via seas
and ocean) in human history. The external  genocides and ethnocides that
Europe conducted can be categorized into direct military
invasions initially, colonization beyond her geographical
boundaries  and forced  assimilation of the  survivors via seas
and oceans, and the indirect act were conducted by creating artificial
dependent states,” Quasi-states”, and extend arm of her colonial mission by
providing modern industrialized war machinery, finance, advice, training almost
what was need to the rising local warlords, bandits, Authoritarian, clientelist
to accomplish the dirty jobs by waging wars and eliminating the natives from
their own soil and occupying by colonial settlers. She safeguarded and still
does her artificial demarcation designed for herself and by herself in her home.

The  Coming of Europe From Dark Age
At this junction of history,
Europe was matured in her mindset to divide the world into two major
categories according to her invention and dream. Europe the white, the
civilized, a master against the rest of the largest world, the uncivilized, the
slave, the colonized, the servant. She invented the term Race, Racial thought based
on an irrational belief, ultimate hatred against the others who do not fit to her
folklore that has never changed to the present. She began the indoctrination of superstition
of superiority of “whiteness” and of on religious myth as a “God`s
chosen people, civilized, and the advocacy of a
given group of people or nation that has no scientific validity.  

And the worst of
the worst was and still is she was that she had /has an obligated from “God” to travel via seas and ocean to
civilize the uncivilized world, the barbarian world. She produced, more
specific breeds “a mercenary scholars”
Like J. F. Blumenbach, C. G. Seligman,
e.t.c. to write a dissertation, and called “racial science” to justify the
merciless practices of slavery, exterminations she conducted since her Ships
docked at the port of older continents of the 3As (Africa, America, and Asian) via seas and Oceans.

 She began to think with
her keratinocytes, skin cells, rather than
the nerves cell the Neurons and
she still does it. She characterized and classified human beings (Homo sapiens sapiens)  based
on complexion of skin, melanin ranking, skull measurement and connoted adjectives that
give her psychological satisfaction such as White, Caucasian versus the
vast world, the otherness  that was spread like  a virus in human  via
Seas and Oceans analog to Rinderpest virus in animal.


The uncomfortable truth of the
whole vulgarism,  “barbarian, savage,
primitive, e.t.c”
a politicized jingoism of western were used as a smoke and mirror to uplift her inferiority complex
to be a hero from zero. She does so because controlling others may help her to
appear superior, civilized, and worthy. The naked truth in regards to Europe and
civilization is that she was aware of the first great civilization of the
world, the Nile valley civilization that rose for over 3000 years were the
Greeks not only earned their knowledge
stolen it and  and some of them acknowledged it. The irony of  Europe
who credited
Greeks as the fathers and mother of civilization, while Greeks themselves  acknowledged from where they gained  knowledge, the  first great world civilization of African, the cradle of human, humanity, science, religious thoughts e.t.c. 

 The later coming Europe denied the whole word
civilization before her epoch  and  most significantly all of that of Africa
entirely: “ We can’t beat them since we were not there at the begging, so let’s
deny it and keep on denying”. That is what Saafu
Khepra called It Diop-mara (the Diopain
principle named after the great Senegalese historian and writer the polymath
son of Africa
). It worth to remind that the paper she used to deny the African civilization itself is a tangible fact that speaks for it self  was  derived from the word Papyrus written in Kemmui (the Ancient Egyptians call them) langauge Medu-Neter  (or hieroglyphics) invented, used in Nile valley in Africa 3 to 5 thousand’s years before the
birth of Europe. 
Kemmui means Black  people and KMT mean the land of the black people, and black is the symbol of God, the symbol of holiness and divinity. 

 “I never wonder to see men wicked but I often wonder
to see them not ashamed” Jonathan Swift.” 1711

 

The scramble for Africa, socio-political schizophrenia
of Europe and  their marionette the  Habeshas


 Virtually, Europe, that was prepared to “civilize” the rest of the world, who
has nothing of her own, call it scripts, number, religion, history e.t.c.
Thus, the first great world civilizations she destined to witness in her
own eyes must be completely denied, or contorted .
As an
Oromos say Boroonif dhuugaan suite if’ttii when
translated, “Truth and morning become light through time.”

In fact, half of the
world civilization recorded in human history was accomplished, before anyone in
“Europe” could read or write. As late as 1800 no European country could claim
that half of its population could read and write. At the last quarter of the 18th century,
it was known that over 77 % the European population was illiterate, cannot read
and write.
She made herself
from zero to hero, from resource poor to reach, from vandalism to capitalism.

Nevertheless, she was prepared to bring civilization to the rest of the world by invading,  waging wars and exterminations. of the natives where ever her ship docked and foots steeped. 
She institutionalized racism, one of the worst evil myth, a societal
cancer that human beings have faced on
this planet as we know it today, and it was
the effective tools she systematically
implemented in covert or in overt operation th
at led to chattel slavery, colonialism and etc, 
to achieve her major goals of exploitation of resources and labor
power
.

SCRAMBLE FOR AFRICA WITH GREEDY RESOURCELESS EUROPE

She began to assault the rest
of the World population on this planet. She called Mother Africa (MA) “a Dark
Continent, waiting for Europe to bring her Light. She called MA a hopeless
Continent waiting for Europe to bring her a hope. She called MA uncivilized
waiting for Europe to bring her civilization. She invented
and implemented an N-word, “divide and rule”, a socio-political
schizophrenia and neurosis in her mind with the premise of 4 Cs-
“Conquer, Convert, Colonize, Corrupt”. She brought to MA centuries of her
experiences of her internal genocidal culture to the world what she destined to
witness on her own soil from Vikings vandalism, Romes-barbarism under the
banner of religion, pseudo-patriotism and racism, led to slavery, colonialism,
and authoritarianism. She brought with her and disseminated to achieve her
final goal, plunder everything she found on her way. She deployed all means she
poses, missionary indeed spies called “discoverers”, military, mercenaries,
artilleries. She also provided all what
was needed to her Clientelist “Quasi-State” like Abyssinia,  includes all
African countries without exception. 

She found her perfect mirror
image in African continent the Habeshas, and gave her the name Abyssinia,
provided with Musketeers, Canons,
Military training, Advice, Finance, what else not for her colonialist projects.
Abyssinia was/is also one of the most resourceless region, a primitive region is known
with her chronical hunger as her signature to the world to the very date in the
African continent. Indeed, the only difference between European colonialists
and Abyssinia being the geographical location and the sources of her mythology
and fable.

Abyssinia, It is unfortunate
that she is geographically located in Africa whereas her mythology and fable
were/is based on the Zionist ideology as her name is self-evident, comes from
Western Asia, know as the Middle East, first to Alexandria- Egypt around the
first half century indeed, and about over thousand years later come to Habesha
proper later called Abyssinia. But she denies the fact and Claims to
be the direct descendants the myth of Solomon –Solomon who
begat Sheba (Makeda or Balkis ) as a result a son called Menelik, the tribe of
Judah more pompously “The Lion of the tribe of Judah, elect of God, was born in
Africa to rule those who had no Jews blood flowing in there Arteries” .
Professor Asafa Jalata, hit the nail on
the head by saying: “Being in and out of Africa” and with his further
exploration of her duality that unveiled her chameleon behavior in his
publication by Journal of Black Studies in 2009. As people adage, the key found
its lock. European colonizers found Abyssinia and Abyssinia found Europe

The extermination policy of European colonizers and Abyssinia
If
it was not for the creation and maintenance of Abyssinia by the
western (Europe plus the USA), the contemporary Ethiopian empire where
over 77
Ethno-Nationals of the south  were and still are  incarcerated  in one
the primitive Barbaric predatory Empire has never ever existed and
maintained to the very date on
this planet.
The beginning of extermination
policy of European colonizers via her boundaries and the exterminations 
the Indigenous  North  Americas population who was called
“Indians” a misnomer that was adapted from the first slave
dealer named Colonial
Columbus,
 to whom the world
was a parallelogram and North America was
Indian subcontinent and Cuba was Japan  who
was  credited as “discoverer”of course by Settlers. Did not the
European colonizers exterminate the Natives, waged wars on their history and
culture in North Americas, The Aborigines of Australia, and Tasmania
that left its scars in human history?  
The same people who exploited
Africa for the last two millennium that conducted genocide; ethnocide led to
over four centuries of transatlantic Chattel slavery
that modified itself later to partitioning Africa and
colonization, by direct military conquest armed with modern industrialized
artilleries for which no African nation and their likes were never prepared for
what is going to happen on their own soil .
She invented a new vocabulary
called globalization, an updated version of Colonialism that showers the worlds
of today, and determined to protect the world she designed. She and her allies
call it “We defend our interest and call it investment buttresses the local
proxy, despotic, tyrant regimes in African content so far they dances with our
music; “Business as usual” the old dictum “might is right.” Europe and the USA
blindfold their eyes, turned deaf ears when things come to Africa in general
and significantly when it comes to contemporary Ethiopia empire in the horn of
Africa.
 If one ferret out the truth nothing has changed in her mindset in
relation to Africa, if one, then it is the growth and the influence of Asian
content as a rival that Europe and her historical allies America have never
dreamed to be challenged in the world she designed.

The uncomfortable truth what
must be told is that the term “globalization” is nothing, but re-scrambling
Africa once again, preparing her to be turned to the Native Americans, Aborigines in
Australians soon, that was not spoken or written but done under the
umbrella of “ “investment, development” her motto “give two eggs to
African authoritarian clientelist, and take back two hens in
return.” and  provide the best killing machine or sale to those who can afford to buy
it to eliminate the indigenous people from their land. Again Africa is wanted!
And re-found to be re-scrambled that what we destined to witness
post the so called “cold war era” the Land grabbing fiber at a grand level from
every compass directing toward Africa. It was said that the past has never been
the past at all, even it is not a present, It may be the future. The objective
of the recent visit of US president to Africa among others was mainly not what
was spoken, delivered for the screen, but it was an attempt to regain her lost
prestige she holds after first and second world war in the 20th century that
gradually shifted to Asia mainly China following the old Europe.

The historical relationship
between Africa versus the old colonial Europe and her historical allies is an
analog to an adage “If a snake molts it sheds its old skin, refreshes it and it
is still a snake. Walter Rodney in his
book How Europe underdeveloped Africa wrote: “Africa helped to
develop western Europe in the same proportion as Western Europe helped to
under-developed Africa”. Furthermore, it was Uranium from the Belgium Congo
that was part of the original Manhattan project which produced the first atomic
bombs. A sign of global might, was it not?, Was it not,the world reckoned
minerals like Diamond that created Apartheid in the Southern part of
the Kingdom of Monomatapa renamed to South Africa, and
other precious mineral resources like cobalt, platinum, chrome, Colton
the lists go on, mineral oils e.t.c, Genocides in Congo Free State and an
ending wars, extermination of South West Africa (Namibia), Rhodesia, and the
clientelist dependent predatory Abyssinian.

 Abyssinia as  mirror image of Europe  eliminated and still do the
autochthonous people in the horn of Africa, the Oromos, the Sidamas, the
Ogadenians, the Afars, the Gambellas, the
Benshanguls, just to note some among other over ninety folk groups on their own
soil and incarcerated in the prison house called “Ethiopia” buttressed by the
Europeans and the USA by her creation and maintenance to the very
date and called it a justifiable extermination!. In fact, no invader,
colonizer won without waging war on the history and culture of the indigenous
people, since history is the Jugular veins and Achilles tendon of the people.
It is history and culture ones identity that makes human a human the fact why
all invaders, colonizers, genociders,
and ethnociders primarily waged war
on it.

 The most  knowledgeable elders narrated it’s
the her wealth, her beauty, resources, fertility of her
soil flora, fauna, nature, unique landscape of Africa, above all the
generosity of her people and culture that turned to the grave of
her offspring among others that turned Africa to a magnet of
attraction to the north poor led to wars in each and every angles of Africa
that holds true to the very date.


What must be told must be told,
the crystallized truth is that no human being on this planet invaded or invade
the others to civilize them in human history. Furthermore Europe, the home
of vandalism who killed, butchered each others,
conducted internal-genociders  in  her  territory, led
Africa to Chattel slavery and preparing to colonize, she must avoid
intra-European rival clashes on foreign soil, on the Seas and on the Oceans as
it was the case by their forefathers in the past  centuries where ever
their interests overlaps, She must come together in one place confer and sign
arguments or treaties on foreign soil, draw artificial
lines within the participants of the partition and create  dependent
extended local clientelist empires where her interests overlaps. She must
compete with control and have more Influence on the dependent “Quasi-States”
direct or indirect to patrol the conquered colonial territories for the-the
near, and use the local landlords to her best interest as it is required.
and Abyssinia is one of the product.
 Now the arguments she made
on paper, signed in  conference  halls, must be deployed on African
soil. In her mind, Europe, USA and  her Product  Abyssinia
one can read indeed Africa was and still is“terra nullies.” to very date.
 

The Significance of Reed Sea and its coasts,
 River Nile  and Abyssinia
 As a gate to three
continents, most specifically to Africa, first the red sea and its coasts
played and still plays a great geopolitical and economic role in the world.
European colonizers computed to gain a foothold on the islands around red sea
as a transit to the hinterland. France bought Obock (northern shore of the Gulf
of Tadjoura, Djibouti) in 1862, and later on established the small
administrative center as a point of departure for colonial expansion dream to
built railway to join Djibouti, eastern coast of the African continent to
Dakar-Senegal, to West Africa. Britain established an Imperial station in known
as Aden settlement in 1839 from where she garrisoned the so-called British
Somaliland and occupied Cairo in 1882; Cape Town; South Africa in 1806.
 More importantly the role
of the River Nile Laga Aba’aa (The
father) or Mormor in Oromo language and
River Hapi in Kemet (ancient Egypt) Medu-Neter (or hieroglyphics) language
renamed to River Nile (by foreigners). Kemet means the land of Blacks whose
Gods were also symbolized and painted Black- a color of the divine. The Nile is
the father of African rivers and the longest river in the world and the first
great civilization of the world, the Nile valley civilization rose for over
3000 years. Although The first invader of Nile
valley civilization were Asians, and followed by Hellas,
scattered  Mediterranean folks  later called Greeks
were the first to learn about the Nile civilization before waging war.Greek was
credited to teach Rome, and Rome to teach the rest of her they were called the
barbarian Europe.
Europe comes to the point
“discovery” and the River Nile e river  to River Nile sources “discovery”
fiber about three decades before Berlin’s conferences of1884/1885s scrambling
for Africa. The importance of colonizing the valley by European rivals reported
in Robinson and Gallagher: “British officials said to French Diplomats in the
1890’s “Take all what you want in Africa,
provided that you keep off the valley of the Nile.”
Europe was found in great
economic crises after intra-European civil wars of Austro-Prussian in 1866,
Franco-Prussian in 1871, and searching for turfs beyond seas and Oceans where
Africa and Asia were their measure target. By cynically formalizing the
scramble for Africa and its resource by European and North American powers the
Berlin conference in the year 1884/1885 whose seeds were sown and catalyzed by
the German leader Otto Bismarck:An Autocrat known as the Iron chancellor in
folk’s mouth consolidated the balkanization
of Africa for imperialist exploitation and cemented the basis for Africa for
being the most atomized, exploited and economically underdeveloped continent on
the planet
 Although, there were no
single African representative in Berlin conference, where the African continent
was sliced as a piece of cake Abyssinia was accepted as “Quasi partner” by all
governments participated in conference unanimously; thirteen in number
including USA without reservation or even comment in her absence; ass it was
said that exceptions make rules. During this period three Habesha rival warlords,
Kasa (Twedros from Gonder) another Kasa (Yohanes from Tigre), Sahle maryam
(from Alkober) crone name Menelik II- , a
pitch black skin with a funny nose and pock-marked face who cannot read write
his own language singularly got an opportunity to be supported with all what he
dreamed primarily modern European weapon, whereas the other two Kasas were killed at war. Europe provided him
not only rifles and ammunitions but also military advisors, finances, a mentor
in designing the empire, middlemen and  firearm smuggler like Alfred
Ilg among others. Wherein Britain, France, Italy, Russia were the chief firearm
providers respectively. Once his dream was fulfilled the eliminator (genocides
and ethnocides) policy of all non Habesha
people began under the dictum, the banner of “Hager maqnat” meant; in fact elimination of the
natives and resettlement from no from north to south by Neftanyas, the call themselves Fannos;
a collection of arrogant, illiterate, ignorant, fanatical infantries
predominately ”soldiers” of both dead Kasas
of Gonder and Tigre following the advice of Alfred Ilg, Menelik promised land
and slave ownership if they all join to fight against the Oromos, the
formidable ones primarily and then the rest of the people in the horn of Africa
rather than confrontation, once their leaders were buried.
After consolidating his power
finally, he declared that if Europe was going to scramble, divide up the
continent of Africa, he should have his share. He claimed that part of Africa
which extended from the Nile to the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean for his
country. Analog to the European nations who invaded Africa, the Abyssinians;
the offspring’s of divers, invaders who settled and lived isolated for
centuries between the burnring shores of
the red sea in the east and the high mountain ranges in the horn of Africa that
is often impassable, supported with massive Europeans rifles and ammunition,
military experts and intelligence e.t.c., waged wars, conducted genocides and
ethnocides. As a result Abyssinia proper was
expanded to about 5 to 6 times to its original size, that holds true to the
very date.


From Menelik II:  to Desalgn : The  Eliminators 
(Genociders and Ethnocides)
Menelik II who was known for
his cruelty, eviction, burning houses, an extermination orderer, sub-human acts remembered as Harma muraa (Breast
amputation), Harka muraa (Arm
amputation), Miila muraa (Leg amputation), Hattu Loonii
Cattle Looter and Rider, the greatest slave enterprenuer,
.e.t.c ) by the Oromos and her neighbours with identical fates and incorporated
to his empire. Meneliks and his gruesome act by his infantries is identical to
(Leopold II of Belgium in Congo Free State, Lothar von Trotha (extermination orderer) of Germany in South West Africa
(Namibia), Cecil Rhodes (African holocaust) of British colony in Africa,France
in Algeria just to note some among other European colonizers.
“Where the foot of habesha
holds no grass shed!” (The responses of Oromos  during Meneliks invasion by “fannos -arrogant, illiterate, ignorant infantry
militias “trained police dog” who did what even no wild animals can do.
 As a result of defending
their land, It was estimated that over 5 million Oromos were massacred by Meneliks predatory infantry in 1900 within ten
years alone, reduced to half of its estimated population Oromo neighbours
massacred by Menelik, like Sidamas, Ogadenians and other indigenous people
living in the region had also the same fate during his Hager maqnat projects of elimination. He
conducted genocide, ethnocide, confiscated their land and property; the life of
captives was turned to slaves and sold as animals as his primary hard currency
paid for the Firearms.Toady the prime hard currency of the current tyranny
regime who adopted a Stalinist system to whom power meant a license to corrupt,
maim and kill, is our land and our natural resources.

After Menelik’s death of Syphilis diseases that was
diagnosed by his European physicians at his younger ages. Tefere Mekonen who was the reagent of Zewidtu who come to power through internal coup
d’état vs. Iyasu preceded the project of settlement and institutionalized
Zionist- Amharaization for more than four
decades of despotic monarchy rule, who was overthrown by Mengistu Hailmaraim- a
Military dictator whose ideological father was J. Stalin Russian Soviet Union,
popularly known as with  his evil acts, the father of red terror, torture,
e.t.c., with slogans like “his Socialist Revolution can feed her own offspring, 
Tigre is one of the poorest
northern regions of Abyssinia proper. her global signature chronical hunger for
the horses mouth Kasa of Tigre (King Yohannis
IV). One may imagine when one’s king begs for food for more than one and a half
century ago and what might be the people whom her rules and compare it with
current facts the world know. The letter reads:
Letter from King Yohannis IV to Napoleon III.1854: “May this letter sent by King yohannis iv reach King Louis Napoleon
. How are you? Are you well ? In
 his kindness God has placed me over
my father’s kingdom. Later, however,  because it was not His will, He
deposed me.  Today I am living in poverty. Give me food to the extent you
are able [to do so]. According to the custom of our country, after the King has
been deposed, he does not go to other people’s house but lives in poverty at
home. I’m starving. The reason for my writing (lit sending) this is that I said
to myself that we are one, since we are the children of Jesus Christ [and] of
Our Lady Mary, and it is not because we are acquainted with each other before. My God keep
you . Amen.”
The letter was
forwarded to paris on 19August 1854 by French vice consoul. Delaye,who
stated that it had arrived from Gonder and that the Catholic missionaries Biancheri and Sapeto
translated from Geez/Amharic Orgin to
French.
In fact, the leader of
TPLF Meles said he was fighting against Hunger, as he was in the desert of
Tigre. As people say, that a child always and a mad man sometimes tell the
truth, Once the fight was tough in the northern for Mengistu, he said :“xeemene
lamaayi gaza
qeerexe mewagat! 

mean fight for the region whose taxation can not even buy a chalk.
After consolidating power
through trickery and mischievous acts, in 1991 Meles Zenawi real face was to be
seen.He turned to another tyranny, one man rule to whom power has meant a
license to terrorize, corrupt, maim, murder, jail, and designed 
systematic policy of extermination under the umbrella of Federalism buttressed
by the-the Westerners “business as usual” now Asians included. Before his death
in the year 2012, He breed someone who
suffers from an inferiority complex for his TPLFs who are craving the power and
influence in all arena
 named Desalgn
Hailemarim, a Wolayta by ethnic who turned his back to his people and who sense that belonging to an influential’s, power
holders and organizers that will give him some filling of importance, sort of
superiority over the others,and 
sworn to follow his master’s
footsteps,to serve the very people who sold the Wolayta people as slaves at all
costs and to be titled as a head of
“Quasi-state” and sitting on the chair of his master. Currently, Zenaw is ruling from his grave!
 A systematic
extermination policy plan  project designed by The TPLF leaders after consolidating
power who adopted a Stalinist or Nazis system that targeted primarily the
Oromo’s to reduce its demo-graphical, Economical, Social, Cultural potent in the
horn of Africa that was leaked and published by Seife Nebela news paper in 1996.
Since then and elimination of the indigenous people from their own soil
incarcerated in the Abyssinian empire
As Malcolm X said: “When you
know who your enemy is, he can no longer keep you divided, and fighting, one
brother against the other! Because when you recognize who your enemy is, he can
no longer use trickery, promises, lies, hypocrisy, and his evil acts to keep you
deaf, dumb, and blinded! When you recognize who you longer brainwash you, he
can no longer pull the wool over your eyes so that you never stop to see that
you are living in pure hell on this earth, while he lives in pure heaven right
on this same earth!”
“Freedom, Liberation, is never given by any
body; 

It is Won!”
IF WE MUST DIE
If we must
die, let us not be like hogs
Hunted and
penned in an inglorious spot,
While
round us bark the mad and the hungry dogs, 
Making their
mock at our accursed lot. 
If we must die, Oh lets
nobly die,
so that our
precious blood may not be shed
in vain; even the monster we
defy
Shall be
constrained to honour us though dead!
Oh, kinsmen!
(all of you) , 
we must meet a
common foe!
Though far
outnumbered let us show us brave
And for their
thousand blows deal on death-blow!
What though
before us lies the open grave?
Like men we`ll face the murderous cowardly pack,
Pressed to the
wall, dying , but fighting back
!
