Sierra Leone’s lost
Like a coin
tossed
In the Kangari Hills.
The future fills
us with trepidation.
We’re the loin
in an ambush
Trapped in an underbrush
Of corruption.
Will the LIMBA
Pluck up the stamina?
Have the KURANKOH
got the key to the door?
Are the KISSY
Too busy?
Will the YALUNKA
Gush forth like Mano River?
Will the KRIO, the SHERBRO
Muster up the ego?
What will the KRU do?
Can the TEMNE
Defeat this enemy?
Have the LOKO
Got the valour?
Will the MENDE
Pave the way?
Will the FULA, The MADINKA
Or MADINGO, grab Freedom’s Charter?
Can we implore
The KONO
To rise up?
Will the SUSU mobilise and stop
The ship of corruption
Docking at Big Wharf?
Which tribe’s tough enough
To bring salvation?
