IT'S TIME TO SPEAK

All i see are scarred lips
And clenched fists
Morbid bodies battered by sticks
With people watching but can't speak

In a land governed by greed
The law remains nothing but a creed
flouted by the mighty
Leaving the weak to languish in anxiety

Let us give voice to these ones
Amid tales of fiery burns
They are weary at heart
Nursing a soul that bleeds out

Enough of the propagandas;
A lie wound round cruel blunders
Treading on explosive mines
They match towards glory divine.

Our rulers are bunch of jerks,
They've abused power for self perks,
They flout every rule in the book,
Just to get power by hook or crook.

Crime and loots they can't battle,
In their cupboard skeletons rattle,
No footprints after four years term,
Craftily covering their tracks of crime.

It's time! beloved leaders of tomorrow,
I hope this touches your bone and marrow,
Fear made us not to act yesterday,
Why wait for ages instead of today?.

Though outnumbered, let's be brave,
Before us lies a steep grave,
Needless looking more before we leap,
What we sow today, our children Reap.
