march to zion
the dragon comes dragging history into the present
the present is not so fluorescent
and the past is so much effervescent
too much lies have been sold
too much truth has not been told
too much iron
has been drained from the lion
in this march to zion
even if we have no meal
we must tell our story with zeal
for the wounds to heal
a people without a history
shall forever remain a mystery
from north to south, from east to west
the beast is having a feast
a people without a culture
have acted like a vulture
and left us with nothing to nurture
the dragon drags the past from the private space
into the public place
the dragon spreads her tentacles
and we watch without spectacles
the past is so much with us
what is the future without us
a people without a history
shall forever remain a mystery
too much lies have been sold
too much truth has not been told
too much iron
has been drained from the lion
in this march to zion
