money can't buy


MONEY CAN’T BUY
Do you want to see African dance?
We are dance merchants
From the down side
Of the Atlantic
We SELL Dance,
Our culture, for SALE,
We SAIL our Art
Our tradition is often on SALES
BUT…
Not our Dignity
That, you can’t buy
I AM A YORUBA MAN
I warn.
Not a bush man
I am a countryman,

So...yoU

You wished so much for FREEDOM
So, you luck yourself up
You wished so much for LIBERTY
So, you let go all religions
You wished so much for FUN
So, you renounced a bisexual life
You think so much about this WORLD
So, you plan to live in your solitude forever
You wished so much for a WORLD OF PEACE
So, you make ATOMIC WEAPONS FOR MASS DESTRUCTION

let me be!

Let those at the right be,
Let those at the left be.
But kill those at the extreme.

Let the congregation soar as one,
Let the inspiration flow in all
But stop the flow of blood.

Let the believers be,
Let the non believers be too,
But let peace be.

Let the father slaughter his son
Let the mother murder her daughter
But let the respect for other children be.

i shall not want

even if the storm treatings
and the heaven sent forth fire
i shall not want...
my passion will outshine my faith
my smile will overpass my pains
my vission shall overlap my dreams
i shall not want...
i shall sleep and dream about my dreams
i shall wake to pursue this dreams,
i have a dream that the summer does come
but after the storm
and i shall not want
.
