It is sit-at-home day in the South East One fiercely enforced by local bandits Who have caused a split in our homes And cut a reddened slit in our hopes
Today they killed a pregnant woman One among many harmless humans Wasted at will on this prohibited day Merely fending for those in their lay
How wrathful they have now become The cads to whom we oddly succumb
Hoodlums from our hood’s illed slums Who beat their own infernal drums Hijacking our dream of a new Orient
For a future they seek to our lament Alas, freedom is being inflicted on us Like pestilence and rank catastrophe By this set of self-acclaimed toughies Who play a vile spit-at-home game Called sit-at-home by another name
They fly fearfully from feisty Fulanis Fell freebooters from the boreal land Fleeing their own desolate wasteland Who now freely roam our hinterland Which these gangs pretend to defend
Unable to fight in the northern parch Or indeed halt Islam’s southly march They turn furiously on us local folk On whom they impose a severe yoke
Terrorizing all who resist their vision Or dare to confront their proposition That we the people must be violated In order – eventually – to be liberated
We stand resolute in our rejection Of evil posing as self-determination We stand firm against these blighters Passing off as our freedom’s fighters
What is freedom if not for the living? Or its virtue, fixed on forced believing?
