Hands Off Our Custodians of Heritage

"...That dehumanizes and destroys decency..."

Hands Off Our Custodians Of Heritage

A naïve and narrow-minded narrative
Of partisanship has been propounded
For a period of close to four decades

By a vain system that thrives on threats
That pollutes, personalizes, politicizes
That dehumanizes and destroys decency

A nasty and nebulous characterization
Of traditional chiefs as party property
Bravo to those who discard such crap!

Cool! Sounds like corruption, the root of much evil. I like the angry expression.
