All death is death
If you speak up ,you die.if you stay quiet ,you die still,we rather speak up and die.Man dies,mama births another,all death is death after all.
I am no prisoner,dont uniform me.i am no beast of burden, dont plough me.i am no chicken dont cage me.i am no machine ,dont steam me.i am no terrorist,i 'm just an activist.i am no soldier,dont rank me.i am no sniper,dont give me a gun.
Everyone looks the other ways,everyone murmuring in the corners,some speaking in the dark places,nobody wants to speak up,everyone says ,they aint arresting my people.they aint arresting my tribe,my tongue ,my colour.
If you speak up ,you die.if you stay quiet ,you die still,we rather speak up and die.Man dies,mama births another,all death is death after all.
Beast is a beast,terror is terror,tyrany is a tyrany ,evil is evil ,good is good,democrat is a democrat,despot is a despot.it doesnt have colour,it doesnt know tribe nor tongue.Stop evil anywhere you see,speak up before it grow wings and claws,and devour everyone.
Activists are arrested,prisoned ,everyone said ,they are troublesome,our people aint troublesome.
They went after priest,everyone looks away,Imam said they aint members of our creeds.
They went after Imams,everyone kept quiet and minding their business.
They went after farmers,everybody kept mute ,they went after trader nobody spoke up.
If you speak up ,you die.if you stay quiet ,you die still,we rather speak up and die.Man dies,mama births another,all death is death after all.
Now,they went after everybody ,nobody to speak up or fight.Everybody is mutted,shut down,everybody is cowed,broken and bent in suffering.
Construct road,you said no money,give us pipe borne water ,you said no fund,
Give us electricity,you said no money,equipt our hospitals you said no fund.
If you speak up ,you die.if you stay quiet ,you die still,we rather speak up and die.Man dies,mama births another,all death is death after all.
But,there is fund for purchase of guns and machines,there is money for khaki uniforms and boots,there is money for state house party and fun.
There is enough fund to loot ,there is enough for your pockets and family.There is enough for your foreign trips and training.There is enough for your luxury lifestyle.
If you speak up ,you die.if you stay quiet ,you die still,we rather speak up and die.Man dies,mama births another,all death is death after all.
No light,dont complain,no road ,dont speak,no hospital ,keep quiet,no water,stay quiet,no security,stay still,no food,nobody should rant,no pension,nobody should protest.
If you speak up ,you die.if you stay quiet ,you die still,we rather speak up and die.Man dies,mama births another,all death is death after all.
How long would you ruin lives,how long would the people be forced to keep quiet,stay still,shut down,imprisoned ,beaten.
If you speak up ,you die.if you stay quiet ,you die still,we rather speak up and die.Man dies,mama births another,all death is death after all.
Beast is a beast,terror is terror,tyrany is tyrany ,evil is evil ,good is good,democrat is a democrat,despot is a despot.it doesnt have colour,it doesnt know tribe nor tongue.Stop evil anywhere you see,speak up before it grows wings and claws,and devour everyone.
