Listen: The Voice From Within
While nature sleeps;I crow to wake the cock up
While nature sleeps; I chip to announce the break of day to the birds
While nature sleeps; I whistle so the trees can sway to the rhythm of the new day
While nature sleeps; I throw pebbles into the sea to wake the waters
While nature sleeps; I clap stones to announce to the neighborhood the arrival of a new day
Nay...!It's not because I enjoy being a slave to nature.... It's because society sold me off into slavery
The quarry I've made my home
The sea I make my palace
Because I was denied entry into that magnificent rectangular palace..(the classroom)
That place which holds my dream
But I ain't giving up
I'm bound and set to live my dream
Its about time those dreams are released
They would not be pushed aside or turned
No matter what...they lay on me
I will rise and build my own home
Sung Kanyiti
