That day is almost upon us but nothing has changed

I try to stay optimistic and say the future is bright

Right now, it is looking all dim and dark but I see the light

I still see endless possibilities even with this fight

As we walk by faith, I know we have to use our might

Because we won't be blinded by their promises again in our sight

They have milked us dry, pressed us sore, so right

They want to break us but we will stay up and fight

We are the future? Their actions show the future in blight

I know it might take us a while before we reach our height

We are not in the wrong for demanding accountability, it's our right

We will keep fighting for that, even at night

Let them keep killing and soiling our garments of white

While they steal from us by filling their pockets

This revolution won't stop, unstoppable like the rocket

The generations to come must know that we didn't stay silent

Every day in this country is a fight for survival

Even from those who swore to give us a safety net

There is nowhere to turn to, we've got only ourselves

 

Thank you for your time.

My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks, with speed and ease.

Still me,

My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.

Olawalium; (Love's chemical content, in human form). Take a dose today: doctor's order.
