As you lay sprawled on the people’s pavement
The enemy’s face wearing a smirk of amusement
Stroking his pompous belly with misplaced satisfaction
Oblivious of the fact he never faced our election
Nor has he experienced our wrath in insurrection
I wanted to cry “Get up Mperi and lead us to Canaan!”
In your splendid white suit you had entered our Parliament
To voice our plight, our thirst, our powerless predicament
For that is what we elected you to do, to represent us
Even in the face of those who would rather repress us
But they had other ideas; their ignorant mongrels
Whose brain power is limited to Yes Sir, Whom Sir?
Stood ready to take any order from the pompous unelected
Even the order to desecrate our Parliament
By throwing out those whom we elected
I say get up Mperi and lead us to Canaan!
The enemy’s face wearing a smirk of amusement
Stroking his pompous belly with misplaced satisfaction
Oblivious of the fact he never faced our election
Nor has he experienced our wrath in insurrection
I wanted to cry “Get up Mperi and lead us to Canaan!”
In your splendid white suit you had entered our Parliament
To voice our plight, our thirst, our powerless predicament
For that is what we elected you to do, to represent us
Even in the face of those who would rather repress us
But they had other ideas; their ignorant mongrels
Whose brain power is limited to Yes Sir, Whom Sir?
Stood ready to take any order from the pompous unelected
Even the order to desecrate our Parliament
By throwing out those whom we elected
I say get up Mperi and lead us to Canaan!
