Afrotypical Rulers

Rulers not leaders are what we have
Fellows who come only to be served
Who turns away from service call
To siphon what is for the good of all

Evenly distributed from wing to wing
Black races all have their drama kings
United in ignorance,evil and greed
Nonchalant to the people's need

They say nature gave us more
So we wonder why we are poor
Why we are called the "lazy" and "slack"
Why what we have is what we lack

Yet our rulers in peace won't be
They travel far and wide to see
The more they see the less they know
Rulers come and Rulers go

Still manifestos remain the same
Yesterday's problems surface unchanged
Suits and ties,fabrics lace
Covers the nakedness of their leadership craze

White masters I guess were far too kind
Compared to what we've come to find
Our common wealth is taken far away
While we in abject poverty must stay

The logic in their reasoning is sickening as hell
It leaves one with no good story to tell
Opinionated followers divided along
The Ethnic and Religions they hold so strong

So while the followers remain confused at the root
The Rulers at the top stay united in theft and loot
Agendas,Propagandas,Promises and lies flow
Rulers come and Rulers go

And when economic recessions hit so hard
The poor masses are the ones that are hit so bad
Salaries are slashed amidst price hike
And then the poor is advised to stay christ-like

Thus why they steal away all we were given
We should fervently pray and look to heaven
Forgetting that faith without work is dead
We bear the burden on our heads

The youths are bought with substance and drug
And then equipped to be political thugs
For peanuts their future is jeopardised
They die before they even realise

While some have awaken from their slumber
Thieves increase in their unholy numbers
Who fight tooth and nail to reach the top
In order to milk the nation to its last drop

Woe to these Afrotypical Rulers
Shame on these kind of Leaders
Who feed on the sheep they should tend
And make the wolves their friend
