don't let silence breed



Don’t let the silence breed
On the corridor of power
It will never make the grade
When promises aren’t fulfilled
When good leaders stay quiet
Breathing in their new-found power
They forgot the time they spent on the street
Shouting slogans crying bad management

Don’t let the silence rule
It will not bring cheers to the people
It will make the nation begin to wonder
What has happened to the street leaders?
Are they so easily forgotten their ideals?
When they finally tasted power in their hands?
We hope not when they are learning the rope
How to manage a country to benefit all?

Don’t give excuses too early
The old dog can’t learn new tricks
It has to be reminded many times over
The mind can’t concentrate fully
And don’t try to justify an excuse
It isn’t in a class room now
It is on reality knowing what will become
So, stay true to your promises
Don’t side track issues

Don’t let the silence rule
It will make good leaders stay stupid
In the eyes of the people who put them there
They have no guts to show the way
It shouldn’t have happened on their watch
The time is doing the right way
Let the actions speak loud and clear
