Falling Whistle

Blow Whistle

This is the sound that is heard before the barrage of gunfire.

Courage means zip zero when the war begins to rage hotter than Hell’s fire.

As the smoke and cries of distress begin to submerge

On the blood painted horizon the sight to see will rock anyone’s world.

Sacrifice… you never heard of nothing like this.

Bodies of child soldiers take the first round of bullets.

Taken from his family in the middle of the night

To fight for resources that would bring us comfort while sitting on our couch at night.

Never chose to fight yet considered an enemy of the state.

No Will Smith or Gene Hackman, this is the life they live today.

Now a casualty of what is known as the world’s most deadliest war.

His legacy will not die we tell his story to the end no matter how far

Blow Whistle

Her cries are stifled by the blood in her mouth.

Her family thinks she’s dead… death is better than this no doubt.

Forced to become the wife of an animal with a gun.

She does what she is told if she wants to survive there is no place to run

Innocent they become rapists or rape victims.

10yr old killas who shoot first and be not bothered to ask questions.

Their fate was decided for them.

Their future looks bleak.

The whistles we wear are their voices so with them we speak.

Blow Whistle

Peace not by guns and bayonets;

But peace of the heart and of the will.

This was the cry of Patrice Lumumba before his blood too was spilled.

How long shall they kill our prophets while we stand aside a look?

Some say it’s just a part of it we’ve got to fulfill the book…

Scrap that….

With their weapon of war we now become a united voice that will never again be the same.

The sound from the whistle tells the world we have a choice and our choice we have made.

Hanging just over our hearts we wear our protest.

No longer separated by oceans we speak on the behalf of our brothers and sister with no regrets.

We will fight to ensure they have the power to determine their own destiny.

We will no longer shrink back and watch silently.

Let the horrors that have been described grow feet and walk with in you.

Don’t become overwhelm by the problem.

Join in to find a solution with all that’s within you.
