Remember the injustice
remember the pain
lest we forget
they will teach us lies
tell my native tales
with foreign utterances
confusing my children
while using my parents
lest we forget
Let’s all forgive them
forget not the story
teach the children
to love one another
no matter the colour
the future is theirs
don’t take it away
don’t destroy tomorrow today
so remember tomorrow today
take care of tomorrow today
rivers are running dry
let your tears run dry too
but remember the pitfalls
and teach the children
to walk safer
to talk safer
and to fear less
stand up upright man
stand for your victory
don’t look away
as it fades away
strike hard at the persisting enemies
don’t fear the evil man
upright man, stand tall
stand firm
and shake the devils feet
shake the downpressor man
stand firm
for children born without a say
whose legal rights is defended by fools
in presence of the righteous man
whose self-righteous belief
makes him just another fool
walk tall
for my native spirits
defend the forgotten
tell their tales
to man of oceans
and rivers and mountains far and near
tell the tales of yesterday
affirm the position of my native society
in today’s infested social debates
be the one who shall preserve the face of humanity
in this blood sucking, money hungry
selfish times…
…remember tomorrow today
stand firm and fight
for the freedom of the “Nation”
teach values to set minds free
let my children know that
“I” without “U”
is incomplete
hold another ones arm
and affirm brotherhood
for it’s time we burry the barrels
and put pieces of peace together
to attain eternal and immortal peace
