Crimes

Moyo wa a Malawi ambiri lero

Tingawufanazire ndi m'mene imakhalira mbewa

Mbewa ndi kanyama kanzeru kwambiri

Kamamanga nyumba kokha

Kutchire kapena kuti kumunda

Kamadzipatsa udindo ofunafuna chakudya

Cha ichocho ndi banja lake

A Malawi ambiri ndife olimbikira ngati mbewa

Koma mbali inayi kuli khoswe

Amene mu zochitika zonse ndi chitsiru ndithu

Amasankha kukakhala mu nyumba ya munthu

Ndipo amaswa ti ana take mwini nyumbayo asadabereke mwana ndi m'modzi yemwe

Moyo wake umakhala wobisala

Ndipo amaoneka pomwe akufuna kukaba chakudya ku kitchen

Kapena ku store

Amakhala wonenepa

Wamaonekedwe ngati mtogoleri

Koma mbewa olo itapusa maka

Ikatenga khoswe kukhala mtsogoleri

Yawononga zonse

Chifukwa awiriwa ngosiyana zofuna

Atsogoleri athu lero

Ambiri mwa Iwo ndi makoswe

Chimene adziwa ndi kuba, kupha ndi kuwononga

These are crimes against humanity

We shall fight against oppression

These are crimes against humanity

These are we shall demand our freedom

We shall demand our rights

We shall demand our humanity

We shall demand our freedom

Dr Martin Lusa king junior once said

The real peace is not the absence of conflict and values

But the presence of equity and justice

When we speak of crimes against humanity

We are talking about situations that force people to live without peace, equality and justice

The political contract between the people and government

Ensures that people surrender some of their rights

In return to government providing them with security, peace and justice

I mean the social contract, the people pay taxes to government

In return to government providing them with services

Yet when the people fail to honour their duty in paying taxes

They get fined endlessly

But right now the government is collecting taxes and failing to provide services

There's no electricity, there's no water

The public funded MDC is a DPP propaganda machine

Our brothers and sisters are dying in the hospitals

Because they're no drugs and there's no electricity for the life supporting machines

By collecting taxes and failing to provide services

Government is stealing from the people

The government is a thief

This is a crime against humanity

The government is a thief

These are crimes against humanity

These are crimes against humanity

We shall fight against oppression

These are crimes against humanity

These are we shall demand our freedom

We shall demand our rights

We shall demand our humanity

We shall demand our freedom

And the same government is instructing ADMARK to buy maize from farmers at K5000 kwacha bag

But it takes much more to produce that bag

This is not just exploitation

These are crimes against humanity

Yet when people march and demand for their rights

They get shot and murdered for simplexising their rights

These are crimes against humanity

When a government minister steals millions public money

They get away with it

Yet we sentence a villager to ten years in prison for stealing a chicken

To feed his starving family

As a country, as a people

We have to search hard in our souls

We continue to plander public resources at capital hill

While little children from the villages continue to die

Because their parents cannot afford to buy panado

Imagine how much the five hand building that was squandered during cash get would have built

How many hospitals?

How many schools or all those of farm produce demand how good?

And you say we're religious nations?

A God fearing nation?

God fearing nation my foot

Yet we watch while these children die helplessly

Ndi zomvetsa chisoni kuti alimi athu

Akumawuzidwa kuti limani nandolo

Akalima nandolo uja popanda owagula

Limani chimanga, chimanga chija 2000

Kuti agule feteleza

Akuyenera kugulitsa matumba ten kuti agule thumba limodzi la feteleza

Chovuta ndichani kukayang'ana mmisika ya mbewuzi

Nzovetsa chisoni ku Area 18 ndi madera ambiri

Kumene anthu akumamwa madzi wosakanikirana ndi nyasi

Kodi inu kwanuko akumabwera amenewo?

Ma black outs amenewa, kwanukotu sakukupezani

Kubedwa mankhwala nzipatala

Mavuto a nkhaninkhani amene tili nawo

Sukulu za zisakasa zimene ana athu akuphuzira

Pamene winawake uko akukatenga chi 64 million

Kuti akagule mipando yamu office

Kodi abale inu mudzamva liti?

Kodi ndi ndani mudamumva kuti amakumbukilidwa mpaka lero

Chifwa choti adali wolemera kwambiri?

Nchifukwa chani mumakonda zinthu zabwino kwambiri

Mu dziko losawuka kwambiri?

These are crimes against humanity

We shall fight against oppression

These are crimes against humanity

These are we shall demand our freedom

(We shall demand)
