the drum beats of the nation



The drum beats of the nation
Carrying a tune familiar to many
Living in this country we call home
With the good and bad in the mix

But there is one race
The shadows they are afraid
Stretching its hold over their minds
Let it string in knots in their lives

Every time they say
It is all about their race
They don’t see the others
They only see themselves

They sink in addiction
Cause by their own kind
They live in the addicted minds
Afraid to say the wrong words

So, in their minds they see
The shadows seem to engulf them whole
They will cry out loud on the cold turkey
They can’t stand the treatment to be free

And they sit on the side road
Carrying placards to feed them
The world does not owe them a living
It is better they start to work on it

The drum beats of the nation
Every race has a right to the wealth
The economic cake must be shared
Every race must shoulder the load of unity
