The New What’s Going On Blog has given the challenge this week of writing about making a statement about asserting one’s rights, fighting for freedom, raising one’s voice and become active in bringing about change in a world that is unfair, unjust and steeped in inequality. It is a message of becoming united with fellow sufferers and making wrong things right. Here is my offering:
Activate
Get up, and mobilise,
It’s time to verbalise
And voice your discontent!
We live in times that stress us
Have leaders that distress us,
And lifestyles that aggress us,
Depress, and downright regress us!
Get up, and mobilise,
It’s time to verbalise
And voice your discontent!
Your silence means consent,
So, talk! Talk loud, talk clear
This is no time for fear!
Our time has come to shine,
Our strategy streamline,
To organise, combine,
Draw on the sand our line.
Get up, and organise,
It’s time to verbalise
And voice your discontent!
Your silence means consent,
So, talk! Talk loud, talk clear
This is no time for fear!
Get up, and march together,
In any place or weather,
It’s time to change for better,
To free and to unfetter.
And seeing that it was a song that was given as an example to be inspired by, I set the above poem to music and you can listen to it in my “Otidorchestre” channel on YouTube, Spotify, Amazon, Deezer, Flo, Pandora, and other music sharing sites.
