Reason for Treason
At the altar of tribalism
Our judgment we sacrificed,
And the blood of the freedom fighters
Never washed away our tears,
For in the politician
A new colonial master we found.
Backed by ethnicity
We were left behind,
The world went for education
We ran for corruption.
Our grandmothers were there
Dancing around fiery politics,
I can see our fathers
The drums of politics mastering,
If only they could’ve stopped
Their own songs to listen,
For it is us
Who have to face the music.
