Just like the seedlings fighting for survival, Our lives as youths are compared, Because our cries are being vacuumed, And we end up projecting our voices in vain, In search of true leadership In a true democracy. Some never germinate from the soil, Just as we are left to embrace in unfathomed beliefs, That will forever observe the truth from our eyes Some wither for the system sieves those who pose threat And those tat mature are ensured to evaluate their forefathers The reality has to remain unfolded least they become vulnerable The voice still persists Begging for peace within our nation For harmony between brothers The muted voices wish for values of humanity to be respected For the unborn kids to have a future The street beggars to have a home The refugees to pride their countries But then The voice is stilled Shut out from the world o f choices As it begs for a chance For the dreams that could be If the voices could be The voice seeks for a platform For a chance to be heard In the quest for true freedom In a true democracy. « return. |
