i will not listen to your lies and fear-mongering, and will defy you when you try to divide us.
i will shut my ears to your seeds of hatred, the one that you would plant, then on the sly, by and by, water and watch for it to grow; and so, when you have manipulated the situation, the people, the nation, to self destruct…
sweep in, call yourself ‘hero-leader’ (for a moment), win your ‘support’
Which you won by burning
the very foundations
that hold us together.
i will not stand by and watch while you burn a nation to make yourselves strong
i will pay no attention to your ploys
to turn me against my neighbour;
my brother, my sister, my friend
To break apart the weaves that have weaved us together
from the day we were born
we are one
we are the nation
you do not speak for us, – In fact
if you do not see that we are one – or worse
that you would shatter what is united, into many jagged pieces
you cannot call yourself
a child of this land
we have
God-given eyes to see
ears, a voice, reason
See - what is most important:
we are one
we may disagree
the fact does not change
we are one
let no one tell us otherwise
