RICHIE KHARIS

OH PRAY FOR US!

Oh pray, that we may be emacipated!

For mother earth is impatient 

Dancing to dark drums

Blind like a bat and stubborn as a mule

Resisting God, her creator 

Drinking sweat and stinking fish

Wearing stones on wrinkled neck

Stuck in pursuit for power and evolution

 

Oh pray, that we may be emacipated!

For I hear dung bells ringing warnings.

Consciousness, weeping for resurrection 

Eyes begging to see the lights

Mouth covered with cobwebs of chicanery, struggling for emancipation, hailing, 

Bring back our rectitude!
