A Song of Hope
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...
Let (s)he come fast
and furious
With the songs
Accompaniments let
him bother not
About. Lots of them
have we!
Just come
Come along to us
With the song.
Ready are we
With instruments
And vocals.
Just come
To sing for us
... A song of hope!!!
