The Servant

Oh here he comes
Seeking our votes
With endless promises
Of making our lives better

He said he is not a politician
But a servant of the people
Power to the people he says

Now we voted for him
He don't care about us
He sits in his palace
Sorrounded by his soldiers
Sharpening his sword
Ready to behead any opponent

He loots our economy
While people are dying of hunger
Prostitution getting higher
Unemployment getting higher and higher
Journalists killed
Politicians exiled
Civilians jailed
No more democracy
No rights
No freedoms
That is our sytem of government.


Power

Because of the high fence
Because of armed soldiers around you
Because of your long machette
You think that you own our country

You govern us the way you want
Talk to us the way you want
And do everything you want
Because of your powers

Hey, have you forgotten
That we are a country
And not a jungle
We have laws, so rule by them
Be thoughtful, be wise

The Bible says what goes
Around comes around
Continue being a monster
And you shall reap
What you are sowing
This is but a gentle reminder.
