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
