ARE WILL DEPENDENT OR INDEPENDENT?

For so long ago
Many, many years ago
Some decades way back
Will stood to sign for emancipation
To be freed from the colonial master

But many years have come and gone
Can will say of a truth
Without a shadow of a doubt
Are will really a sovereign state
Free from the dependency of foreign aid

How long shall our leaders
Go to G8 meeting to lend
Miga pinot that will enslave
The whole nation born and unborn
Into debt servicing how long shall stand

At the mercy of foreign aids
To run the affairs of our nation
Begging from one continent to another
Living from hand to mouth
Yet we are screaming but wait

Before you scream
Happy independent day
Are we are really dependent or independent
While so many of our leaders
Have turned into parasites living under the host

Milking the nation's treasure
While the masses pay dearly for it
Inflation is rising high and Tax is overkilling
And yet we say we are independent
While most of the nation's consumption is imported from outside

So my dear fellow countrymen and women
Before you chant the independent song
Make sure you do ask yourself
An honest thought-provoking question
Are will dependent or independent
