THE HOLY BRIEFCASE

 

Many decades ago, 
They came with ego, 
And condemned our ways, 
Planted a religion to thwart rays.

They arrived with briefcases, 
To uproot curses and cases, 
But therein lies weapons, 
To put fears and lampoons. 

These albinos polluted our culture, 
And tagged us barbaric nurture, 
Our ancestral graves desecrated, 
They built their temples, called them sacred. 

Today, we are enemies of ourselves, 
Religion the madness of selves, 
Amadiaho traveled in ship, 
Here we behave like sheep. 

This scar will linger forever, 
Many eyes open, but blind ever, 
Let\'s retrace our root, 
The Cross lies the truth.
