Why are you doubtful
Still searching for answers
What? more convictions
The wisdom of the ages
The wonders of the ancient world
The Khufu, Cheops, Sphinx and Giza
Great Egyptian Pyramids
Why have your memory gone so soon
During the Nativity, the new advent
Three wise men emerged from the east
Bearing precious gifts
I pose these questions
Give me profound answers
Where was industrialization
When was the target time
The birth of modern inventions
Have you now remembered
Can you now hear
The clinking noise of chains
The chains of slavery
The blood of the slave
In the hands of the slave merchant
The birth of a new world order
Did i hear you say reparation
Who can pay the price of blood
Mortal man to produce blood?
Give also the breath of life?
Stop, stop, and think
In the silence
The clock is ticking fast
You have already seen
The golden age of knowledge
The knowledge of the past
The knowledge of the present
Finally Finally Finally
Shouted the Spirit
The knowledge of the future.
