YES I HEARD IT

I heard a murmur
I heard them mumble and whisper
they were talking about 'top state secrets'
even the village folk are also talking
'we are rattled by money men fighting for power',they say

yes I heard
ooh,I liked it when they said
'food prices have risen sharply'
'our roads have not been repaired'
'our hospitals have become death traps'
'none of their promises has come good'
they even questioned appalling police brutality

I can hear the stirrings of disquiet
the gagged are incessantly discoursing
the previously silent public is loudly discussing
even women are talking about it
yes i heard it

for 2012,they are regrouping
in huddles they are talking
they may not be protesting
but the road to Canaan they are walking
yes i heard it all
