Taskmaster Sung?
*****, ***** do that what masTar says;
B tat Dat yo own filthy slave;
*****, ***** stay on them knees;
Do that, watch that masTar you must please;
That spiritual yoke we've got round yo neck;
Is ta lead ya, too what's bless?;
Soul free Slave?
MasTar mastar Yun nott mi masTar
Forn whose in side me
Tis my freedom Mize liberty
Ain't got knone right this ain't naw fight
I am free ta just blind and can't see
Ain't now yoke nor whipped back
I'm of kingdom blood while you laugh
While you pray what you pray
To Our same Father sum dues young gon pay?
Ya! See masTar masTar ain't no Slave
See we both actin up misbehavin
When you see mee on my knees
I'm not being servitude
I praying God bless you

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr 2024
Not a sage
He is old now, and eyes are watery he looks absent
and hiss ready smile has disappeared-
people ask him questions he cannot answer because
he is unwilling to say what they want to hear.
Yes, he is a communist but also critical of its policy
it can so quickly end up with an elite- sham labour unions
and loss of free expressions
Democratic- communism is not possible as people
we have not evolved enough to understand it's the concept
to explain will take too long.
He murmurs something, feigns hard of hearing
and let people talk to each other daily life were everyone
has an opinion, often ill-informed from a sentence
in a respected paper like the Guardian that is political
in a middle-class way.
He knows lies rules the world and that is the way of the world.
