My Stupid Master

Come 
away 
my 
stupid 
master,          
Acceptable 
way 
i 
wish 
to 
plea-             
Driving 
me 
around 
with 
your 
decree...  
My 
year 
i 
cherished 
1960.       
I 
fear 
no 
more 
of 
thy 
heat,                     
Nor 
the 
furious 
winter's 
rages 
of 
thee
¡                             Though 
thy 
hand 
so 
unbearable,         
Never 
i 
dismay 
of 
your 
edict.                  
Come 
away 
my 
stupid 
master,          
Name 
rejected 
by 
all 
Afrika...                   
Your 
life 
of 
command 
has 
come 
and 
gone.       
Here 
you 
are 
my 
stupid 
master,          
Roaming 
around 
like 
a 
wanderer.       
Running 
like 
a 
fastest 
cheetah...   
Never 
yee 
find 
a 
rest 
for 
a 
shelter.
