you keep challenging the fiercest in our town to a combat,
with your fierce hand you strike them ,sending their souls to heaven and their body to earth.
our kings have given up their throne to you
our mighty have bowed down to you
Even our strongest have fallen in defeat
our wisest act foolish in your sight
our most beautiful have turned ugly cos of your visit.
In our moment of triumph you sting, sending our joy and laughter to exile,
filling our heart with anguish,our eyes with tears ,and our mouth with curses.
your feet have crushed dreams
your hand have strangled efforts
but still you keep taunting
None can stand your cold hands,like lightening it sends down shiver to our spine
Even the babies in our town have known your voice.
Thief !, disrupter of happiness !
you have settled amidst us like one of our own ,you feed from us ,but then strike us forgetting our goodwill
now our town is filled with shouts and uproar cos of your presence
How do we appease you? that you may leave and never return
If i may ask, Why do you pluck our unripened fruit from our farms? have you no eyes to see that their time is not now?
Why do you consume the best of our produce ?leaving us with inferior ones.
in your cold heartlessness you have sent our mighty to wasteland
Our mothers have wept cos of your visit
Our fathers have groaned of heart ache cos of your sting
even our children are in suffering cos you have stolen from them.
Unruly bastard,disrespectful idiot ,cruel coward , be proud of your deeds today for our God will soon be here ,in judgment you shall stand before him with your head bent in shame.
