INDEPENDENCE TIME OF THOUGHT: 01:15AM DATE OF THOUGHT: 22/03/2010 Oh! Oh! Oh! Our soul cries The thought of 'it' strucked us all We are indeed thirsty for freedom We compromised not And we fought it all Whilst other folks were feasting   Our thoughts are always of freedom Freedom from here to other side Through oneness of our souls We payed the price at once Do not be oblivious being For our shadows are here To hunt all enemies of our sacrifices Day after day Oh! let there be independence Oh! let there be freedom Our splased blood on the battle front cries You have barter and trade All we fought for With our hot-bitter sweat Our sweat shall avenge Vengeance on all enemies of freedom Vengeance we call for Should you forget? Do you want to go back to slavery? Oh! you dont want to Our dearly father sacrificed all Mama was not scared Even our dearly brother went away in the fight And the helpless sister of ours is no more Do remember Our shadow are  still here Let there be.................. Don't  enslave yourselves Freedom is honey Honey is sweet And, the bee that gives honey equally stings.
