Sing for me A Song ... A song of hope! Sing for me A song ... Different from this Which I hear everyday! What song do I hear On a daily basis? You query... ... I hear A Song of pain A Song of bondage A Song of anarchy A Song of deceit A Song of fear A Song of hunger And Songs... Of POVERTY!!! Songs of poverty Amidst plenty... Songs of the poor Amidst the rich. songs whose tunes turns a man to a goat songs whose tunes makes the husband's sigh seem to you like the belated bleating of a hungry goat albeit the piercing moo of a cow hit by the fulani's staff... The same song Whose tunes turns the Woman to a hen. She asks her sighing husband The reason for his sigh But because she is hit By the same bullet She clucks like a hen Hot in heat! Can anybody sing to me? ...A song of hope. A song which will Ease the pain of my people... ...A song of hope. A song which will Ease the burning in my heart... ...A song of hope. A song which will Bring salvation to my kindred... ...A song of hope. A song which will Bring smiles to our smileless faces... Is there any Out there with such a song? If there is...
