Hope, the spirit being that leads your way to the things that you dream of achieving
Day after day, as I lay down my body to the dust of the earth, with the hope to
Drift into the new world of the things that brings smile to my face, and
My heart leaps like a child in his mother’s womb, appreciating his mother for
Giving him the opportunity to be born into a new world, our world, a
Demon that enslaves people, keeping them in a loop, which makes them
Make same mistake. Generation after another, new offspring are born
Into the same work and the same steps taken by their forefathers
Who are we to judge? Our ways, seen as the way to eternal
Cage that keeps us stagnant; just accumulating more knowledge
For the benefit of staying in a spot without changing direction
Or moving forward
Who will stand for us?
Who will be the saviour?
Who is fit to make a revolutionary change?
These questions, asked at the expense of our ignorance
Will we continue to search for a leader?
Why can’t we take a step in becoming a leader?
I will rise, I will stand, I will break the chains
I have made up my mind and my goals are set
I will be free from the bond of slavery of this world
I will fight and make my heavy loads light
I will get the freedom I deserve.
