Revolution
How long will we be silent? How long will be deaf and dumb? How long will we relax and relent? How long will we see our tomb? How many times will we be blind How long will be in hind? Moving at a snail pace While in the national interest race Awake awake, say no to slumber Long ago we have slumbered on our a*s All our members must remember The loss of the green blood, doves without wax We groaned and moaned amidst the drones Of riffles and monster guns Till we were disarmed with modern arsenal Our conquest must be green in the annal Now is five hundred and forty months We were proclaimed 'no victor, no vanquished' We must not be so foolishly cunny at least The lossers know that they perished Seeing the winners's pipes blow victorious Their monotonous anthem of Unity, sounding furious We are no doubt called one name But we are not all the name Sheepishly we are under the Aso Rock The Aso Rock is so stony and rocky To her pebbles' good luck and oils block Are we cursed to be unlucky? Or we never cause the move of our luck? That we endlessly in mire stuck Sharia has come and gone But now Boko is on the run Our veins are clinging for blood Shame on those who carry olive leaf Our hearts are flooded flood Of sorrow and anger, now we are stiff 'Let him be hanged he that is not for war' We must war but let it be in our fore: 'Purposeful War is revolution And purposeless war is destruction' We have been disrupted and destroyed But we are not defeated neither are we intimidated Though we have been boiled and foiled We are not wholly deciminated Since Aso Rock has failed us to be moved She must be bloodly or bloodlessly be removed We call on Change to visit us like dawn Or we show the Rock our bloody brawn © 2015 SunnydeMajesty |
