GOING ASTRAY

i cannot stand by and watch

watching my people going astray

watching my people making the wrong choices

that is not the way of the liberator

that is not the way of the leader

anointed by the mighty gods

my people are perpetual minors

cannot tell right from wrong

they listen to the wrong gospel

spread day and night by little dots

my people cannot choose this way

that leads them to the chains of slavery

that leads them to the bondage

the bondage of colonialism

i know what is right for my people

they will only prosper under my rule

i cannot watch them waste their votes

wrought through a bitter armed struggle

woe unto those that lead them astray

taking the sheep from the shepherd
