INDEPENDENCE
TIME OF THOUGHT: 01:15AM
DATE OF THOUGHT: 22/03/2010
Oh! Oh! Oh!
Our soul cries
The thought of 'it' strucked us all
We are indeed thirsty for freedom
We compromised not
And we fought it all
Whilst other folks were feasting
Our thoughts are always of freedom
Freedom from here to other side
Through oneness of our souls
We payed the price at once
Do not be oblivious being
For our shadows are here
To hunt all enemies of our sacrifices
Day after day
Oh! let there be independence
Oh! let there be freedom
Our splased blood on the battle front cries
You have barter and trade
All we fought for
With our hot-bitter sweat
Our sweat shall avenge
Vengeance on all enemies of freedom
Vengeance we call for
Should you forget?
Do you want to go back to slavery?
Oh! you dont want to
Our dearly father sacrificed all
Mama was not scared
Even our dearly brother went away in the fight
And the helpless sister of ours is no more
Do remember
Our shadow are still here
Let there be..................
Don't enslave yourselves
Freedom is honey
Honey is sweet
And, the bee that gives honey equally stings.
