The Godly Devil

From far they traveled Their lands they abandoned To see the power of our beauty Tourists you nicknamed them Forest, you called me With green color I celebrated in joy My body you caressed with care But why now, What did I not do right? Where did I really go wrong? That with panga you now harm me Into my veins you inject venom of destruction Like gang of floods you merciless disposes me With shameful bald, you have left me What offense did I commit? Rain I gave you With no greedy heart, fresh air I surrendered Your body smells gold But your heart, the hurting stone When am deforested you smile With fresh water, your thirst I relieved But why oh why You now turn me into a laughing stock With your bitter minds, my belongings you take away Tears flood down my cheeks When with your sharp hoes, You pierce thorns, into fresh of my banks Your mouth spits out words of comfort But your mind, the dwelling place of destruction When I silt you rejoice To you the godly devil We shade our tears The wounds you have given us are painful The baldness is shameful We need our belongs back
