That we
have long befriended truth doesn't mean we are infallible and cannot err. This
is because we are also human. However, we shall never cease singing the sane
verses of truthful conviction as long as we breathe.
Even
though you may not like our approach we won't stop. We cannot stop even if it
will cost us deprivation of material comfort, the embarrassment of being
disgraced and passed over in a reward that is well merited or something worse.
Tell
them we are never perturb by their frantic efforts to tilt the dusty wind
towards this progressive sail. Ignoring the saintly truth is equal to
neglecting the promptings of your conscience and a fatal brutality of
crucifying the socialized virtues at the bay of your soul.
We
cannot blame your actions and reactions, even as you clench to your pride and
egoistic stance to disbelieve and discredit the truth with your elusive
assertiveness. We cannot stop you from making those mockery friendly overtures
that you have mastered over the tides. But we cannot all die in your hoary traps
laid by devious sycophants.
Guided
by truth we live hiking in the sunshine of eternal wisdom, which kindles the
renaissance flame in our bosom.
Its only
time that can certify the truth and our worth as a people longing for a
heartily dialogue with our past, present, future.
Till
they sacrifice their greed, betray the betrayers and divorce this comfortable
winds of deceit and make our own greater.
Till we
rise with our feet to walk the talk
Till we
embrace the altruistic faith of truth
Till we
join forces to elevate our hopes
Till
Afrika rises from the ashes of Asmara
This
resolve to sing the truth
Must guide
our face and fate.
