The day is coming... by Dele Farotimi

The day is coming

The day is coming
It is inevitable.
It would dawn unexpected.
But the day of reckoning is at hand
I can feel it in my bones
That the day is at hand

An accounting shall be had
Let all who hold others down beware
That they are themselves enslaved
Even as the ones they have oppressed
The day is at hand
The captives shall be freed
