WE’VE SPOKEN LONG ENOUGH


Word has gone out thousands time
Transcending the whole landscape
Each one as one re-echoes the chant
The chant of a new world for this nation
We’ve spoken for long enough

There comes a time when silence
Becomes a betray the government of the day
Has cast deaf ear to our biddings for long
We have reached a deadline crossed the rubicon
And there is no taken a French leaf from all these

We aren’t backing down
We cannot take a French leaf now
As each day comes breaking
Tomorrow is what we have for the future
Today is what we have 
To make out a better future 

Words have gone out 
Through every possible medium
From the music rushing 
To spoken word online and offline
Audio and visuals aren’t let out 

In all of these but we see 
The prolong silence 
Here and there
Is killing us, overtaking us 
And breaking the ties

Alas! 
Oh we’ve run out of words 
But not words fail us
Enough is enough 
Of seating down and talking for long 

Mumu don do 
Is time to stand and act right
This work is not political initiated or minded
But a transcended kind 
To make the world a better place

Is time to put the words 
Of our national anthem into action
We must arise o compatriots
We have sang that song for so long
Now is the time to put it in motion
We’ve spoken for long enough

Now is the time to take the walk
Walking the long work to freedom
In bringing emancipation 
To the unfreed ones and mind
Mumu don do 

Enough is enough
We must arise and say No
Also stand our ground 
With our feet rooted deep 
Into the soul of our motherland
