a poem or song that had some imagery to the effect of - " our dust will rise up & fill their noses " but it's escaping me where I heard it from since it has been many a year. Does that sound familiar to anyone? thanks!

(113 posts)that brought the memory back. Its a very similar, hymnal type message. But it has a clear "even if our oppressors beat us down into the dust, even if we are defeated, our dust will rise back up, and clog their nostrils and they will never be free of the memory of us irritating their noses and making their eyes water" type.. of thing.
