I hope I am right;
As I labour in the rain,
To speak in the light,
Righteousness is in vain,
The right is so tight,
When will I gain?
Because to the end I will fight,
And I hope I will gain.
I hope of May;
The month of the few.
To the Lord I will pray,
As I sit on the pew.
Human rights, I say,
Neglects not a few.
Bribes they pay,
In silence I view.
Why the temptation?
The rights to grind.
You cause humiliation,
As you wrong you find.
I gain inspiration,
As a new constitution you bind.
Is it modernization,
When we are behind?
I speak of fact;
Economic rape through corruption and degradation.
Hidden behind the act,
Is the selfish temptation.
Hope a vision I enact;
So as to curb humiliation,
I condemn the act,
So to prevent exaggeration.
Our mind they played;
Our hopes are so low.
I worked and toiled,
Our boat will I row?
The slaughter they ignored;
I will shout it now!
When all is finished,
We shall sow and bow!
