OBEAHMAN


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.....
.......
OBEAHMAN
