Jungle Justice

jungle justice
is a shame to kill 
a human being 
lesser than an 
animal 
is too bad 
when the one dat 
is killed commits 
the crime out of 
an arching stomach
empty for days 
without hope of 
a meal 
is a calamity 
when you can 
burn your own 
brother or sister
with out no pity
no mercy 
no excuse
no explanation 
what a world 

ole ole ole 
thief thief thief 
catch him hold him 
where is the car tire 
where is petrol 
burn him 
he stole my two 
pieces of tomatoes

jungle justice
enough of this 
brutal show 
i wish this same 
justice is done 
on them that 
curse hunger 
starvation 
poverty in our country 
we know them 
you know them 
they are not on 
the streets 
they got their large 
furnished air conditioned offices
they don't walk like 
us the normal citizens
instead they cruise 
with high security escort
so as much we know 
they exist they still 
invisible to us 
if not their will be 
no hungry man again
about to be burned away in misery
again as they always chant

ole ole ole 
Thief thief thief
catch him hold him 
where is the car tire
where is petrol
burn him 
he stole my two
pieces of tomatoes

jungle justice
i wonder what we 
gain when we 
Wacth this horror
i wonder what joy 
we derive from 
wasting the life of 
another for nothing
i thought we got 
law officials
i thought we are unhuman 
for this brutal act 
is not for the 
innocent ones 
is a shame we are 
all victims of bad 
government yet 
we oath to help build 
each other 
our life's are already 
bad enough to stop this 
chase and chant of 

ole ole ole
thief thief thief
catch him hold him
where is the car tire 
where is petrol
burn him 
he stole my two
pieces of tomatoes
