How long will we be silent
Martin Luther King Jr
Said in the end we will not
Remember the words of
our enemies
But the silence of
Our friends
How long can we
Remained silent
In the face of injustice
To our people
In face of unemployment
Of our youth
In face of lack of care for our
Elderly
In the face of gendarmes
Brutally
to our women
In the face of eviction from
The beach front property
Of all we local businesses
How long can we
How long will we
Remain silent
You ask me what could
Be worse
Than an inhuman
Heartless
Leader that doesn't care less
About Saint Martin people
And I will answer the silence
Of Saint Martin people
We can't remain silent
Any longer
While day in and day out
We saint people
By the mary's step
Like beggars
While Daniel gibbs step
On them te go te he office
Te work for he white masters
While the people suffers
I can’t remain silent
And I asking Saint Martin
People an’ all other people
Te have a heart
Come out and say something
Break your silence
Or we all will be buried very soon
in we silent Grave
Then when Daniel and his friend
Cups will be full they will sing
“Silent Night” over we empty grave
People stand up
Speak up
and never give up
And big up
Te all we Saint Martin women
Out there struggling
