WAKE UP CALL

Great leaders are born to serve
Not to rule or dictate 
With so much valour to defend
Their nation physically, mentally and otherwise 
Steadily fighting all oppositions and liberating his people.

Steadily they tackle 
The purpose why they emerge 
Even amidst the threat of death 
They never retreat nor surrender 
Always igniting the people's passion for freedom.

Wake up Africans
How many more heroes 
Will they kill without justice 
Should we remain prey forever 
Prayers without actions 
Is just like a vehicle without tyres.
