Knock knock
Who lives in the puppet's house
There are no institutions or organisations
Be it religion or government
Strong and powerful enough
To fight or oppress us
If we realise that, all there is
Is greedy, corrupt and selfish individuals
Working as one in human establishments
Given resources, directly or indirectly financed by us
And elaborate acronyms to match
(NSA, CIA, FBI, al-Qaeda, Boko haram)
All engineered to scare the masses
They are never more in numbers
Than the oppressed majority
Hiding from fear, of false assumptions
Enlightenment is a realisation
A realisation is an awakening
An awakening is the revolution
Are you still hiding from fear
Knock knock
Who lives in the puppet's house
Who lives in the puppet's house
Singing "kombaya my lord is coming"
A strong statement here, Kodjo.
ReplyDeleteHopefully because of the way the news travel today we can choose not to live in the puppet's house!
ReplyDeleteI love this poem, especially the lines:
ReplyDeleteEnlightenment is a realisation
A realisation is an awakening
An awakening is the revolution
You have nailed it, Kodjo!!!!
Go get 'em...wake them up!
