PICK UP THE PEN

Pick up the pen

  Begin the written
    Words in your
         Heart
That
         Would bring
          Change to
           Our world
Hey
Start now
Talk about it
Hate it
domestic violence
a cancer
to our
Homes

    Pick it up
Pen against corruption
it's eating deep
     Our purity
    Our dignity
  Our integrity
Our creativity
       Arise
              Write
        Speak out
      Share it
Be not afraid
stop this disease
      Yes
I mean you
Be open
   Pick up that pen

Not in my country
why this discrimination
in my nation
Why why let it
Separate divide
our heritage
amongst us

Am in pain
Pain am in
Why
  Why
Pick up your pen
Don't let it
Die in you

Pick up this pen
In front of you
Write in plain
Against child abuse
Molestation
Prostitution
Corruption
Slavery
dehumanisation
Murders
War
Bad leadership
          Against anti followership
Pick up that pen

    Write it
I say to you write it
Believe now
Someone out
     There
Even here
      They
are reading
watching
as you unfold
Your heart
Regarding this
  Diseases
on mankind

I wail on my
sick bed
As the nurses
gives me
wrong prescription
death prevails
Right there
in all these
hospitals
    Why
Why let it so
You see it
On daily
basis yet u can't write it
         Shame on you

Is all over in
our
offices
Homes
Churches
        Why watch
Pick up that pen

Pick up your pen
Don't scribble like
                       Hen
Don't even place
Favoritism
just write truth
about the realities
      Of life

Posterity
Prosperity
dignity
integrity
          Are watching
        You and I

If we fail
To pick up
Our pen
Write against
these evils
For sure
         We shall be
     FORGOTTEN

Pick up that pen
                   Now
