FREEDOM

 

FREEDOM

50 years plus since independence

As a bird we are caged

No freedom since then

Freedom is what we long for.

 

Our hands are tied and voice locked

Our eyes are closed and we can’t see

Till when will we be caged?

Freedom is what we crave for.

 

Africans rule as the Whites

Of what use was the independence?

1963 was to end it all

Yet our sufferings are their melodies

 

Elections done every 5 years

No purity in it either

Leaders win and rule without true votes

 Of what use is this freedom then?

 

They are your fellows, as foreigners you treat them

Truths you hide and dismiss the witnesses

 Innocent souls perish for you to win always

Is colonization still on the move?

 

We yearn to be free

Our hands and voices to be free

To view the importance of our legends

Change must happen for freedom to be!
