Blacklisted By God
Sham democratic elections are organized,
The victorious plan to rule for ever,
Opposition is baptized “night-dances, enemies”,
Local people cry, rulers laugh!
So it happens only in the land blacklisted by God.
Natural resources are exploited by foreigners,
Rulers sit, arms folded and venerate Judas Iscariot’s tomb
International bodies praise and honor the rulers,
Local people cry, rulers laugh!
So it happens only in the land blacklisted by God.
Virus and bacteria hold workshops,
And plan strategies of colonizing the population,
Rulers buy military hardware and invoke the Spirit of Brutus
Local people cry, rulers laugh!
So it happens only in the land blacklisted by God.
Ignorance builds nests in the mind of citizens,
And drive the land to the baseline of civilization;
Rulers trade education in super markets,
Local people cry, rulers laugh!
So it happens only in the land blacklisted by God.
