Kamikaze ! though shall not move
These imposing boulders stock here
Set to prevent a sure move from there
Of any interlocutor in the name of justice
Eh hem! these stones have no ears to hear
Nor do they have eyes to see
Speak less of hearts that feel any compassion
Towards any indigent folks
Their lot is to suffer continuous pain
Which they must bear without a single cry of pain
Or protest
Which even beasts of burden are allowed
In the primitive settings of yore
In their silent songs
They sing " lankantandangho laye
Lankatandangho laye,oh kumba camara ! have mercy "
Silence being the mode
These cries go unheard
The faces are masked from view
Only the occasional groan or sighs of pain
Come out intermittently and oh so low
Which vibes get caught in the winds abroad
Triggering alarm bells for Amnesty I and co to cry foul
But the brute who causes the suffering
Has no time or qualms about his effects on the weak
Upon whom he tramples as a routine daily pass
Like the rice in the mortar gets beat
By the frenzied pounding of a mother in need
To feed the hungry kids at home
His need is called national security
Crossing which, causes one to suffer
All kinds of ignominious calumny
But the song keeps being mimed
In the hope that some one picks up a sign
Then come to their succor
In a nation so small
That once had it a tag on
Such as that of an improbable state
Shouldering a burden so heavy
Which threatens to shatter it to bits
Yet the world moves on indifferent
With eyes set on gains further afield
Where they can reap benefits from fields
Of oil, gold , diamonds or even wheat
Which if even present on that smallish land
Has not yet gotten the allure of important feeders
Thus we stay to rut or disintegrate
For all they care
