July 4th, 1776
Declaration of Independence
A brave path towards our independence from the British
A revolution with courage
Blood spilled on American soil
To fight for our land and freedom
Determination with strong leadership
A tyrant invading our homes
To preserve our American heritage
An instrument of war
A draft document written
13 colonies signing towards our declaration
Philosophy of our human fights
Marveled to become our liberty
The right to defend your very own property
To finely live in prosperity
To be free under sovereignty
On April 30th, 1789
George Washington was sworn in
As the 1st president of the United States of America
A coronation, watched by our entire great nation,
Some with trepidation, others boisterous jubilation.
Trump feted, his fawning family silhouetted,
Basking in his light, his confidence and might.
This Grand Old Party, it's followers vociferous and hearty,
Anointing their chosen man, to rule their ever-growing clan;
No harm to love a cause, giving thought and sometimes pause,
To what this passion brings, the words the siren sings.
Whereas strong leadership is good, it can be tainted just like food,
For democracy renounced, cannot then easily be found.
Let’s be careful what we wish, lest it be a poisoned dish,
Our founders crafted choice, beyond just
one resounding voice;
Autocracy is not a word, that in our Lexicon is heard,
We must vigilance ensure, for our country's story to endure.
Unity the dream, but like salmon in a raging stream,
Needs fortitude and grit, knowing when to fight and for the greater good, submit.
Know your roots
Sometime when you hear
about the big population of Wayao
in Eastern and Southern Africa
with many kind chiefs
and one king.
You will say
They are so wise ,
With a strong leadership.
When you read the history of the yao people
And find out about the creation of their language.
How they could mix Ndendeule, Nindi
Matengo, and Kiswahili
to make Kiyao
"or Chiyao "
You can think of the wisdom of those ancestors?
Don't forget about the coalition of Matengo, Nindi
and Ndendeule people who made the current Yao people who are in Tanzania , Mozambique,
Malawi , Zambia , South Africa and Zimbabwe.
Yao people are among african peaceful , sociable
and powerful nations who can tolerate
attacks of the weak nations
for a long period while preparing to silence
the attackers systematically.
When you provoke Yao people many times
You will regret one time
and learn a good lesson.
Don't forget some group of yao people
who left Mozambique to South Africa
In 1870 after the war against the coalition of makua,
Lomwe and mwenyemaliya people on the Yao mountain
now they are among the Zulu nation.
its for new boat
not and old goat
who has old ideal
we need someone who has appeal
will give everyone love meal
will not dip
or let hate whip
its the time right mind
WE NEED STRONG LEADERSHIP
