An Understanding (1975)

As I walk in lowered motions

Praying to the gods I fear

Living on my patterned devotions

Contradictions are all I hear

Asking forgiveness for what is not wrong

And unable to see anything right

Something evil that is to be prolonged

In totally void and descriptive light

 

Must I bow my head and praise

The god I flatter with my lies

And if his spirit I do raise

Do others raise him to the skies

In his eyes abound enormous captivation

Something too beautiful to understand

And if I am to create a new nation

I must do it under his trusted hand
