We lied to the world

we are the children of the least of men

we have not been to great places

neither have we done great things

we have dinned with no kings

and no princesses will marry us

we are little, we are poor

we are the off-springs of the noble

the children of them that hate corruption

we are the scape-goats of the society

we have refused the meal of the kings

for it was boiled in the blood of our missing kins

this is the cry of the children whose fathers fell up-holding the values of this society we enjoy today

Big-man, do not forget the heroes that fought for your children when you ran away

do not forget your promises to compensate our losses dear leaders

for in the truth, you are only a leader when there is a people to follow you

you may have lied to the world and have them believe

but this one thing you’ll never learn to do

you’ll never fool us, we know who you are

and most of all, you will never  fool yourself!

in-fact, you can’t!
