THEY CAME AND TOOK US AWAY
BUT WHO WAS HE WHO LED US ASTRAY?
FOR WHEN A MAN LEAVES HIS CULTURE
HE BECOMES LIKE A VULTURE
WHEN A MAN ABADONS HIS GODS
THE GOD OF HIS FOREFATHERS
AND CALL THEM FOOLS
HE HIMSELF IS THE WORST FOOL
FOR A FOOL BEGETS NOTHING BUT A FOOL
FOR HE GROWS IN THE KNOWLEGE OF HIS FATHERS
HE CALLS THEM "MERE WOODS"
BUT WHAT DOES HE BELIEVE IN?
EMPTY HEAVENS?IT TAKES THE WISE BUT A LITTLE TIME TO LEARN
BUT THE FOOL REMAINS BLIND TILL DEATHHE THINKS HIMSELF THE WISEST
WHILE HE WALLOWS IN FOLLY
HE ASKS WHERE THE GODS NOT AROUND WHEN THEY BOUND AND TOOK US AWAY
BUT HE NEVER ASKS "WHAT HAVE WE DONE TO DESERVE THIS
"THE TRUTH LIES WITHIN HIS REACH BUT HE WONT EVER GRAB IT
WHY?
CAUSE THE TRUTH IS HIS WORST ENEMY
HE DETESTS TRUTH LIKE DEATH
HE BELIEVES IN A FOREIGN CULTURE
AND BOWS TO A FORIEGN GOD
YET WHEN ONE OF HIS FAMILIES DIES
HE BURIES HIM IN THE WAY OF HIS FORFATHERS
HA! FOOLS INDEED
