Let the sleeping dog lie Let our greedy leaders "Lai" Let the present and the future die Let the old men and women cry
Let the sweat of the workers escape in flight Let the wealth of our leaders reach new height While the gallant youths fight For crumbs and bones in delight
For karma has left us in plight What goes around seems not in sight At the end of the tunnel comes no light And the future seems not to be bright
But let the youth cry out with all their might Escape from the darkness of bad leadership of the night And fight for what is our birthright So we can escape from this menace like a kite
It's a political poem that criticises African leaders
