New year declaration

We were on our own Minding our business Weighed down by crushing unemployment Thoroughly disillusioned by the art of promise and fail We were disoriented by the perennial lie Of being leaders of tomorrow While we watched the promised future Dissipate before our very eyes Stolen by evil forces that have held the country Down since after the flag independence We were still minding our business With dignified silence As SARS kept on decimating our numbers At any slightest provocation Profiling us with ease as fraudsters Defining us by how we looked Instead of whom we really were And we came out to protest this injustice But we were brutally repressed And ran for our dear lives An election came in 2023 And we believed that with our numbers We could take back our country From the precipice of the devil and the deep blue sea But we were brutally brought down to earth By forces of calamity However we remain undaunted The forces of evil might seem to be winning But we the youth will bring their blighted era To a dismal end and that is our declaration!
