Why the Ak-47 In the Hands of the Innocent

Why the AK-47 in the hands of the innocent

The innocent has cried out 
For too long 

For too long 
We have been ambushed
By strangers
Unknown to us with a trace 

Yes we can't suspect who 
They are cos they aren't 
Far from our lands 

The scars of the tribal wars 
Before never stops to end today 

Our dignity looks marginalized
By those not in peace with us 

Tribalism never ends 
In Africa 
Such as Racism never ends 
In the world 

We can't be dying for nothing
We can't continue to lose our love ones 
In the hands of this strangers

We always face unwanted brutal
Attacks from this strangers 
There pursuit is our destruction

So the fight never end 
As the innocent chose to defend their right
If you are still wondering 
Why the AK-47 in the hand of the innocent


(Dedicated to all Biafrans World wide )
