A Voice For Change

Some will sing a new song, some will be the same There is so much pain but many are still condoning the game What’s your worry, they would often ask? In spite of the state, they just don’t care Some often wonder what's the reason for this treason But no real answer, one could reason Obscurity blinded our eyes We grope in the dark but no one is asking Why did we not defend our rights? They held our hands to lead us out But only to find out we are still in the boat with no way out The smell of death engulfed our space, Who will rescue us from this unjust plight We look for change, for change Unmoved and callous as they are, I know that there is a better way But who will forfeit this game and undo this insanity Scheme and ism is their way, no helping out, just lashing out Insanity plagued this place; and our faith is beginning to asphyxiate What is the stake if we retaliate, for there is hope if we don’t give out? Why not stand up and fight for our rights For with our voice we can overcome this insane plight and defend our constitutional rights
