Rise to Shine

 

 

Rise my countrymen

From your slumber deep,

All around you now

Does freedom pitiably weep

 

Rise you educated few

Who recognize what it means,

To chose a leader who

Will know what liberty deems

 

Let not your apathy

And your comforting disgust,

Lull you to sit and smirk

That there are none today to trust

 

For our country’s sake

Do not let buffoons come and rule,

Can’t you hear them now

Already squabbling like greedy fools?

 

Into fragments tiny aplenty

Has our beloved land been shattered to,

Would you add oil to fire

And choose a government that’s hung too?

 

If the educated will awake & rise

Can there be anything we cannot do,

Let us begin with stability

The rest will follow slowly but surely too…
