WISHES ARE FANTASIES
(Nigeria election 2015)
Song
Nothing has changed.......
If not, than to have us sucked
More than they did...
Yesterday.........*3
We sell our trust to worthless buyers
In exchange for peanuts
We let them preach us decorate lies
For us to harbour hope for future blessings
They preach love but hold on so tight
To hatred in heart
They preach change but join the Abiku race
To inject us with pain
Beggars from different kiosk quarters
Scattered in streets, moving in tow
Clattering plates with their unturned songs
To win attentions, just for daily alms
And mummies line in death lanes
Straining their weak voices for already crushed wealth
That may not be revived
If hands folds on
With tight sealed lips
We lay our pains on titanic smiles
Merging sadness and happiness
Life and death
For fear is gradually kissing us out of life
We fix irony on words
To make wounded hearts mild
But we can't keep this ball of life rolling
On self propounded lies.
Wishes are dreams
Be the change you seek!
I will preach it
I will say it
I will sing it
Wishes are fantasies with wings
Flying away out of sight
With its betrayer's act
Abandoning you to drag yourself back into reality
Then hopelessness starts to parade in thought
Leaving one to wish
That he could not have sold himself to its mind's eyes
And here frustration befriends all static
wishers
I will preach it
I will say it
I will sing................ it
Like freedom songs.......
But certainly I won't dream it
For the income of illusions wishes
Are the shovels of our dead bones to come
Leaving the unburied dreams hanging
For more of our kinds to come drink
From glasses of pain and agonies
Direct and guide your trust
They are gods
And very priceless
Start now to chant your war songs
To be the change you seek
For there is no way out
Than we being the change we seek
Like Martin Luther King thought me
To always remember
That freedom cometh not freely to the oppressors
It must be demanded by the oppressed
Song
Nothing has changed.......
If not, than to have us sucked
More than they did...
Yesterday.........*3
Its time for the mass to know that the system is responsible for the moribund state of our lives, and we must put a stop to anti-poor government, and capitalism.
Buhari and Jonathan are not alternatives.
