We Will Not Keep Quiet

We will never keep quiet, Even in the middle of the jungle, Left alone with the unknown, We will make the unknown known Swim in the pool of realism, And sing the song of spasm For we will not keep quiet. Why will you think your dealings, Are right and mine wrong? Why? How you kill and give reasons, Breaks the delicate bone of posterity, When will my colleague cling to, To pend the wand of the yard, Then, let’s wake up from this, Lazy and perfunctory sleep, And slumber around to settle, The settlement of the time, For We will not keep quiet. We shall tell the world the truth, How you gang and mob to pull, My whole stern body naked, How you tame to barren my effort, How you swerve and swear to spy And stop me from the table’s fame But I will not keep quiet. We must not keep quiet, But tell the world your dealings Without hidden vile wry in awry In whole and naked of the soul, To end the strike pending, And to rescue the generation Yet, unborn, to avert the wrath, Of time and queue behind time And say things as they are, Why we will not keep quiet.
