OH TELL THEM
Tell the poets to speak
let their inks be heard
for they aren't beautiful liar's
who's words are pregnant
but the voice to the common
Tell the writers to write
the deeds of our leaders
tell them our fate is in their inks
for they're our hands
Let they twenty six alphabets
become words for letter's
which will speak to our leaders
reminding them of true leadership
Let the pregnant words of a poet
be sent to our leaders
let there meanings be read to them
for an understanding of our pains
Let the wisdom
of their inks be poured
upon the heads of our leaders
that our anthem lyrics will be remembered
Oh tell the poets
tell the writers
they're our voice.
