OBEAH MAN

i wish i was an obeah man

better than papa niza or even shadow

to light a big mauve candle

and throw light on evils

throughout the ‘global village’

i wish i was a obeah man

to write the wrongs

but not for a noble prize, only

to feed the hungry children an’ poor people...

i wish i was a obeah man

to enable sight through the lies an’ chase

away the flies of broken promises

i wish i was a obeah man

to decide an end to austerity measures

establish a ‘real’ world order destroying racism..

and political debauchery

i wish i was a obeah man

an’ run foreign conglomerates

who exact profits in a new wave of deception....

i wish i was a obeah man

to obliterate nepotism

while at the same time licking up drug barons

who pose as legitimate merchants

i wish i was an obeah man

to manifest and distribute spirit blows

as deals are secretly made

to devour the wealth of our people...

i wish i was an obeah man

to manifest de over due national theatre
i wish i was an obeah man

and stabilize the T&T dollar ...depose the plantocracy

to empower the landless...

i wish i was an obeah man

an’ stop police brutality
i wish i was an obeah man

an wok some true- true obeah

but it is difficult to be an obeah practitioner

when even the patrons are fakes

while the deserving are

chased away by bureaucracy....

as some very important people

seek me out in the dead of night.....
