You stare about in confusion, Look no further for the murderer, They are here with us, we with them. Lay down your weapons and accept, You ask when she was killed, We killed her long ago and on. When for revenue she was kidnapped, Denied those who raised and cared for her, When we took in the carers for bread The Judas teachers of our times, They never had the calling, Our petty myopic racial sentiments held, Our nouveau riche guardians, Partake in the murder too, The gluttonous government dogs, Sink in their incisors for the kill, Our indolent students claim victims, But the bulk certainly goes round. Its evil accomplice spares none, Do we stand there and wait? See how her death suffocates, Do we need the last resurrection? Dare we wait until then? For this ravenous wind to settle? Let’s resurrect her now. Let’s find a worthy pis aller For this long dead knight That stemmed off our past subjugation, Let’s give something for what makes us, Let’s resurrect education now. « return. |
