The Creator of the earth
Once said
“Be doers of the word not hearers only”
But in our case talkers
All we do is talk
Behind our concrete slabs
Galvanize and board is only talk
We see the corruption, bribery, murders and nepotism
But nothing happens
But talk
We talk about events, lies told by official
But we never do
We are passive not active
Talkers not doers
Lying away while we sink in oblivion
Only talk
A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the arms
And your poverty surely comes.
But in our case to much talking
Not enough acting
We only talking behind our concrete slab
Galvanize and board
About raising food, crime, unemployment
But who would close their mouths and act
Only talk
No one
Because we talk, talk, talk
More talking than acting
More complaining than doing
More murmuring than protesting
Only talk
Boys on the corner talking,
But nothing happening
But talk
They leave the corner with no resolution
Only empty words, filled with laughter
We only talking
Death in the street
People gather
“He was a good boy”
“He was a gangster”
Murderer never found
The only thing found was the gossip
We only talking
Ministers talking, people talking
But never doing
Just talking
While thinks spinning
Everyone talking
They have a little secret on us
They know us well
They see through us
Lurking and waiting to strike
We are talkers
The secret is out
That why they can kill our children
Steal our joy and
Empty our pockets
Because we only talking
Not doing
Just talking
Not analysing
Just speaking
So you talk
While they do!!!
