THE COST OF OUR IGNORANCE

Since 1960,
Many have led the train
Dr. Zik as the first to lead
Many more captains have been leading 
Even till date
Upon all these, where is our stand? 

After so many we've called faithfuls
And given our trust times without number 
What have we stand to achieve? 

Our train's hope of moving forward, a mirage 
Yea, it has been stagnant
Injustice and perversion pin it down
In a train where lies are truth 
And truth, lies

The umbrella gave its own trial
It wooed us and we fell for it
We thought we could live under the shade
Alas it failed us
It broke our hearts

Yet the Broom beckoned 
Like a voice crying in the wilderness 
Make straight the way for the man of integrity 
We thought the broom will surely sweep our flooding tears 
Yet another failure
Another hurt.

Who then will heal our hearts?
Where is the pride of our green and white?
We have become a falling giant. 
As I hold back my tears. Remember, 
“I belong to everybody and I belong to nobody”
