persecution in two ways!

the heat is on

congregating in evil places
just to plot evil schemes
to shed this innocent blood
they shall not prosper

their schemes will prevail
but only for a little while
for my maker is a fighter
not against flesh and blood

they shall soon be smitten
it was a sling and a stone
little david slew goliath
bury them now in their own pits

blocked ears

then vincent ford wrote them
composed those great lyrics
you put passion into it
the world sang along
the world still sings along

where are you bob marley
what of the composer vincent ford
the job is yet to be finished
'no woman no cry' still misunderstood

never the lyrics of a misogynist
telling a woman not to cry
assuring her everything will be okay
still many do not get it today
listening skills at an all time low

of thieves and chiefs

shocking buffonery exhibited
in this seemingly never ending drama
the tragi-comedy bedevilling this nation
now in the bandwagon of avarice

that institution turned to crap
its usefulness it has outlived
listen to them aping their masters
posh imported cars along dusty tracks

those silly helicopter rides
those crumbs from their masters' tables
fast turning chiefs into thieves
that shocking buffoonery exhibited

this is where we are now.it is sad when chiefs try to siphon riches from an impecunious government which cannot even decently pay its back bone i.e the civil servants.chiefs [some] have said they want to be pampered by being given mercedes benz[s].it grieves my heart to hear such thinking coming from those who daily see the suffering of the rural people who do not have buses plying dusty tracks.the rural communities[some]have no clean water or even dip thanks and other basics.it is sad.one wonders which roads the chauffer driven chiefs will use for their limosines!
