When I pulled open the bag laden with captives
Their eyes breathed a great sigh of relief
Pouring out of the bag like a plague
They scuttled off towards the freedom trail
And wove silken webs to capture their enslavers
Well, wouldn’t you?

Afghanistan! would anybody give a damn
perhaps had a chance, under Uncle Sam
They gave them weapons, to fight Talibans
enslavers of women, for pleasures of man
Kabul was thriving, the west brought calm
young ladies attend school, sitting exams
Mullahs hid in exile, with extremist Imams
Allowed back in, by surrendering Afghans
Another failed state, turns hardline Islam
say they've changed, nah just a big scam
The door was opened, they choose to slam
right back to poverty, from where it began
Religious fanatics, resume same old sham
beheadings, torturing, cut off some hands
Warped Sharia law, interpretation of Koran
no A la carte, only one recipe, Allah flambe *
US couldn't stay forever, done all they can
must watch Russia, China, Nth Korea, Iran
In tragic war situations, there's no exit plan
want to point a finger, start with bin laden
* Play on (A la Flambe) no offence intended
to moderate peaceful Muslims*

I was placed on the horizon
But I stepped on my own coat tail
My enslavers derailed me
Cast my crown around my ankles
This you say, right away
You scorned me, enslaved me, became me
Masked me, raped me, mock me, paraded me no liberty
Hated me because you can
You take from me because l am
My life not negotiated
Take my land, take my hands freedom for the next of the next generation
Again, take my land, my name, my wife, my, my guilt, my children my life guilt
You lay me out like an ole pure starch stuffed cotton
What are you what am I
I've taken the thorn from you and yours inside my side
Drunken from the same tin cup of water you pass by
For you see all peoples low and high are delivered from choices unholy , while I
I am save and saved by Jesus... From

A woman's beauty renders men disarmed,
and opens their hearts to great harm,
and their voluptuous nature enchants them from afar.
Women the enslavers of mankind
seduce us with their beautiful forms.
What can we do but love?

NIGERIA II
Nigeria is this you the mighty?
The diamond in sought by moon faced ladies
From world of tale where value values
Discovered and polished by civilized dignities.
Nigeria is this you crumbled by hatred?
Pure gold covered with dust by the miners
Curtain call is for Cain
A land blessed than the biblical Eden
In the hands of greedy Rehoboam
Who swore to break your back with horsewhip
Children who delight in kill’ their mother on Birth stole.
Desperate ritualists who choose to Sacrif’e the oval.
When shall you rise in the hands of your enslavers?
Like Joseph of the coat of many colours.
