BROTHERS

Brethren I write to you I Understand I wronged you And did not believe in you I gave the enemy my ear Forgetting what was our nia A wish that our ancestors shedded blood for Disunity easily scattered it My heart is bleeding not knowing when it will end My eyes are flooding with tears My arms are trembling with fear When I realize I pointed a gun at my brothers A wise man once said I’m not free Until my neighbors land is liberated Let’s join our hearts and hands to build a bridge That will bring everyone to the light and liberty The hands that will flee the enemy, The enemy that have occupied our territories They made us starve while we have food in the farms Tanzanite in the mines and oil in the field Not only oil and fish in lakes and ocean.
