Be Vigilant

be vigilant
don't be carried away 
by mere words 
In a hurry
never be in a 
rush to listen
if you can hear 
you can think 

be vigilant 
don't be just 
a good listener
look at those faces
yes those faces 
which lips is speaking
don't be in a hurry
just be patient 
and be perceived
to release
is a free world 
yet the world 
is not free yet 

be vigilant
don't be too fast 
in conclusion
neither be too quick
in decision making
for in every opinion
there is always
a two sides
so be vigilant
look them into their eyes
them always with 
this famous slogan 
of change 
listen you could 
see or notice 
the lies hidden 
in their truth 

be vigilant
don't trust in a hurry
for trust is not earn
that easy nowadays
my leaders has lost 
our trust 
we quietly ignore our pains
and that is their advantage 
of never ending brutality
now chase them 
yes we have to chase them 
cos we have long 
been in a deep hole of hardship
so we decided to change the 
change they refuse to change
not by violence 
but by only 
be vigilant
