ABOVE THE LAW

You are Potentate
Your food is ants.
Pride and Power is your nutrition.
You are above the law,
You step on it, you trample it.

You are the business man
You have charisma and resources.
With your 'generous burnt offerings' of 'Chinese See Weeds',
You frighten the 'Rigid Constitution'
Who carries the face of a polyester brought to fire.

You are the renowned military man,
You are also a 'Civil Army'
You punish offenders, you combat evil,
But the darkness of your soul
can't be struck by a cannon
for you are above the law.

You are the face of education
You are the very sanity of the nation.
Your children, brothers, cousins and friends
Need not write exams to be called professors
'cause you are above the law.

You are the political elite
You are the paramount citizen
The one unto whom everyone look up to for ease in life,
In your hands the safety of the community is ensured
But your children are abroad for fear of abduction

You are the religious leader
The quintessential of faith.
You bear the mark, the seal of God
Yet you have divorced and remarried a million times
'Polygamy in a refined order'
Or do I call it 'immorality in a legal anonymity'?
Yet this puppets priced out of their conscience,
This slaves to biblical ignorance whose strings you pull,
These elephants with the brains of an ant
believes still in your vibes
Not recognizing when God's anointing left Saul to the house of Jesse.

Doth not the law teach a different tradition?
Doth not it speak a different language
from that which it is originally known?
Doth not Potentate change the order?
Oh is the law forged to affect the poor and helpless only?
Oh guile generation
Thou wilt not my restless ink dry!
