A Call To Order

Arise O Compatriots The time is near when we head for the ballots The time when we decide for a new revolution Or maybe another time to renew corruption Genocides birthed out of hatred everywhere Many voices are silenced out of fear And all day long, we pray Who shall save the day Our leaders who we once voted into power Have soon forgotten to empower They promised us electricity Yet we still face lingering scarcity Lawlessness and perverseness, unavoidable frivolities And our communities are deprived of basic amenities They promised to help our plight But refused to fix our light Oh yes this has been our cry all day But wait a minute, there's still more to say I know you want to point fingers too But think about this, what about you I wish every man can stick to his own wife Maybe we can end family strife I wish the small girls with big god Can work with their hands and trust God Little rainfall, overflowing gutters An opportunity to inflate fare for the commuters Religious standards and beliefs are compromised While many lives are being jeopardized No matter what it takes, we will give When we are done, we shall ask God to forgive When we get to church, let's talk holiness But when the service's over, it's worldliness Even the devil will torment you with poverty When all we are been taught is spirituality The country's economy has not helped us So we are on a get-rich-quick course And if the so-called leaders are failing Who will then rise and heed to our wailing Think deep, again I say take heed Lest things fall apart and we can't recede Who are we really to blame here Or what will you do if you get there Every sector, corruption has hit No wonder some will have to struggle to eat We all have a unique opportunity to make things new Only if our minds we decide to renew Let those who love education study to be approved And those who prefer to learn trade endure when reproved Let the bribes on the highways stop So we won't have to fear while approaching the next bus stop Let every angry man take a cool For anger rests in the bosom of a fool If they step on you, it's a mistake Stop getting mad at every little thing for God's sake Finally, And while we hope to reach a safe haven Let's keep on praying to our Father in heaven Let's return to the drawing boards And do that which is right against all odds But I believe if everything can be done in charity We can together have our desired happy community And positively influence humanity
