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. . . .
