It's hard to face the dynamics of hardship but when it comes, people reach out for change.

Too much! Too much political corruption!
Bribery, cronyism, nepotism, patronage and extortion.
Misuse of government power in the hierarchy of administration;
Away with the discriminatory policies and human rights violation.


The politicians say that they are for the progress of the people;
Yet we are oppressed, strangled and beaten, worn out and feeble.


The innately affixed truth is in one's heart
But you continue with lies to tear us apart.
You may be in control
But woe be unto you on the day of the reckoning of your soul.


Too long! Too long! We suffer by the hardship of time,
While you allowed our people to live in squalor and in
A vortex of decline.


Day after day we are oppressed and succumbed to fights;
What happen to justice, truth and rights?
Where is our sovereign privileges?
Why allow the oppression by the political savages?


Everyday, pressing our shoulders to the wheel;
One day, one day, the truth you must reveal.


Give us the opportunity so we may survive
And overcome the struggle to keep our family alive.
We have shown resilience ;
We have shown character and patience
But how long, how long, how long should we be silent?
