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
