WE ARE READY BUT…

we are ready but not yet prepared 

for their arrows pierces our heart in pains 

clubs and stones only we have for duels 

innocent bloods still flows on the street 

we are ready but not yet at alert 

for they have chocked us for too long 

eating from our pot and spitting back in return 

our hands aren’t tied, we are fools 

they’ve robbed us for too long 

our innocence has gradually been washed ashore 

our mind’s at war with our own guilt 

tempest rages in every gathering 

they pitch us against each other 

religion and tribalism became a tool to concoct their plans

fools in their folly, administering deceit 

imbeciles assuring people with empty promises 

they plan strategically at the polity

sectioning the nation’s wealth to fill up their bellies 

they laugh deep and give out flatulence

we savor the stench while they share their loots 

see, we are ready but soon we will wake

gradually the cock crows and dawn is near 

we, still stretching while yawning 

slowly our eyes are opening to the ray of light 

we are ready now, fully awake

our blood now flows In eventful circulations

the town crier voice we hear, beckoning us because today is the day we reclaim everything

very soon, they will see us
