The proposal

by Yatubeera Resty   Jul 6, 2013


I say strike!
Strike i say
For God's sake tell me,
When did prisons substitute homes and homes become prisons?
Taxes have become a daily bread just as bread is taxed daily!
Must we starve on our land?, after all on our land we are starving
We strike i say
I say we strike!
Our health services are poor, just as poor our health
Yet to change we were promised and
Surly our lives have changed
Its time for change, for change time it is
And now we must speak!
Yes, speak we must now!
Stand behind me and lets match
Matching as you stand behind me
Demand we change!
Yes, we demand change.

    When the promised change does not come to
    help the people, then the people have to stand
    up and make that change. Been quiet is not going
    to get us anywhere! I like the strong voice of
    rebellion in this write..well done!

    A very true topic indeed! Angst and arduous, anarchistic and rebellious; exciting.
