In Times Like These

In times like this,
we need voices
that will scream in protest
shrill cries that will awaken
their conscience.

Within our walls ravaged,
plundered by elephants,
standing aloof without action
will produce untold hardship

Let's sing with one voice
against machination
let's march in anger
against gradual elimination.

(c) Emeka Chike Nwogu~2005

Emika, you are so right. CSW, are hounding certain people.
Although I'm off soon. I will with many many others keep fighting till it is won. Thanks to Bono of U2, he has come down hard on Mr Blair and Brown..

A poem that is forth-right would do good. And I will pass it on to the directors of CSW..SATURDAY MORNINGS, ON PREMIER,Christain radio, CSW have a 15 mimute voice now. Can get it on the internet.

I get at least 5 mails aday from them, some I am allowed to pass on.

Others I can't for reasons you understand.
Stay strong. My good man..

Let's sing with one voice - marvelous thoughts, Emeka - and let's all sing Happy Birthday to you, too! I hope it's a grand one.
