Now is the time
Takudzwa Ziwenjere
July 18, 2013

For quite awhile l have lived in suppression
and fading hopes of liberation
All this while I have been crying for emancipation
hoping that some hero will come for my resuscitation
Little had I known, that only I and me alone
had to come out and stand for myself.

In my words lied the solution
the only key for my liberation
Not only did l realise that, but l also discovered something
I was not only suppressed, but brainwashed too
fortunately l the solution.

I believe in my words is where the truth lies
I believe in my words is where the solution is
Yes you can try to use your brutal methods
but the power in my words stays provocative
The power that is in my words is just a time bomb
you can beat my body, but remember l got a mind
The secret chamber in which the plain truth lies
I have a mind that is free and has to be said out.

I believe its high time to say myself out
I believe its high time I expose corrupts
Its high time l get myself off, from the yoke of suppression
I once saw it but couldn't talk,
its high time l depart from such ways
They used brutality to shut me up
its high time l open my mouth.

It's just high time I impact change
get free from suppression
Its high time I stand for the truth
YES it is now!!

I cannot be a Martin Luther King
I don't have the oratory skills
But l believe in the truth
the way l may talk can sound absurd
But the truth is the truth
I know the little that I say will impact change
But I have to say it out
WHY?
Because now is the time
Yes it is now!!!
