Better Off

Was Samoa better off without The missionaries coming to save us Oh enslave us to leave our roots To submit to their god Because we were savages That ate humans But didn't Europeans eat humans too Yet we have mixed their infected bloodline with our customs and Still call it Fa'a Samoa Or the Samoan Way I didn't know that Samoans came from the Caucus Mountains or the caves But when we ask questions We are told to shut up Left confused Telling us we are fiapoko Or smart alecks thinking we know it all Yet they wonder why people have left the church Because they no longer follow the source But their own self interests Like draining the energy and pockets of the congregation But when we question it they say We are looking at it through our own eyes Not through the Holy Spirit I believe in God but not of the oppressor Looking to seek the truth The truth of what God wanted from us Not of religion and titles But how my ancestors lived The true Fa'a Samoa The Samoan Way without the clorox Purified brown soulful essence Were we better off Better off Not having those invaders and impostors on our island Damn
