DON'T LET THIS EGG BREAK

The land is wet and slippery.

The hands are weak and trembling.

The head, centre and tail are short of ideas.

Who will rescue us?

Without wise leadership, a nation falls.

Are there no Helpers wise enough?

 

The heads need wise counsel.

Hate and violence are on the increase.

No jobs and costs of living are at the roof tops.

We are fading like a shadow at dusk.

Don't you care or you're comfortable?

Around you are all life demands.

 

Beware! You can only tell how a fight starts,

How it ends, you cannot tell.

You're courageous mind molders.

Without you, the head cannot function.

That man is, what he is today, is you!

 

You command both the rich and poor, tall and short even fat and slim.

Your strength equals that of a horse.

You're beautifully and wonderfully made.

Since the days of old, you have been a force to reckon with.

You're full of wisdom and power.

 

Why stand silent and aloof?

Stand up! Shout it aloud!

In the East, West, North and South.

The pride of every parent is the unity in the family.

This egg must not break.

Because in brotherhood we stand.
