LET'S TALK ABOUT IT

Let us talk about it,
let us talk about those moments that's bestowed you sleepless nights.
Let us talk about it,
let us talk about those memories you wish had never occurred.

Let's talk about those things we see everyday,
those things that our society has made a norm today.
Let us talk about those thousand cases of rape,
that we hear everyday yet swept under the rug at the expense of our dames.

Let's talk about it,
about those fears we nurse.
Let's speak about the future we dread,
that'd definitely in no time come like a mighty rush.

Let's not be silent about it,
about the death unmourned.
Let's cry now when we can,
before the days evil will be honoured.

Let's talk about it,
about the unspoken speech.
Let's discuss our potbellied thieves,
before they silence us to speak.

Let's talk about what and who,
that trends with time and greed.
Let's talk about start of Yahoo
that's bred boys from laptop subs to human scriptions

Let's talk about those days,
that we fear to remember.
Let's speak about those bygone loves,
that we've endlessly cried about.

Let's talk about this and that,
that's earned us endless DISS
and aimed missiles at us like darts.
Let's talk about it all.

Let's talk about the marketers,
that sells not in daylight.
Let's talk about those codeine, Colorado and trams,
that does no better than harms

Let's talk about the suited purloiner,
that comes under the guise of altar to render us silent in full(fool) dilemma.
Let's talk about our terrorist sisters in purdah mask,
that destroys our lives and properties under Quranic cloaks.

Let's talk about those deeds that cross our national redlines,
for they are our problem's root.
Let's talk about those memories that makes us shed tears,
for they are our source of inspiration.
Let's talk about the past we hate to hear,
for they're our path to a new love story tomorrow.

Let's talk about them,
about those black men in black dress with a black tool.
Let's talk about those rogues on our routes with black shades,
for they claim for us they work yet stops us until they receive a darkened handshake.

Let's talk about those feelings,
feelings we cannot express yet can feel.
Let's talk about those things we can(not) remember,
those things that bleeds our heart yet unspoken by our mouth!

Let's speak about those deeds now,
before we're been shut or shot!
Let's talk about those acts now,
for even if our being is gone, our words would forever be in.
