Old Monroe Destroyed
Old Monroe will be destroyed
He does not like the fact
That many of His children
Have to leave here unemployed.
Old Monroe will be gone.
He never wanted it to last
This long. Satan's power
Never wanted to see this
Place flourish.
Student's who are here
Are getting their brains
Malnourished by treacherous
Teachers and punched by
Phony principals.
God's children who are here
Are getting their spririts
Malnourished by money-hungry
Preachers who are turned on
By church hoes.
People still believe that they
Are smaller than they actually
Are because the evil spirit
Of racism drives old Monroe's car.
Some believe that they will
Forever be poor and really
Love God and are often treated
Odd and never given a chance
To actually advance will dance
In new Monroe and advance
After all of the old will be destroyed
Some lives will be spared
And after that the city will be rebuilt
And the inferior infrastructure repaired
The many talented who left old Monroe
Unemployed will come back home to
New Monroe where kingdom-minded
Prosperity will roam.
