SAGABOY

When carnival is over

You- Sagaboy

will return to your

place of unimportance

waiting for another song

hoping for another dance

another chance

another stage

 on which to  prance

When your jab jab crew

take of their masks

and return home

from their acts of power

unable to give you 

anymore favor

You-Sagaboy

will understand

That there is no glory

In being

A marionette-man

There is no honor

in being bought and sold

for favors

even Pinnochio

traded in his goodwood

for a real manhood

one with no pricetag

or snag snag

Just  integrity

Sagaboy

All that talk about slavery

and Caucus mountain

All ,the satanic stanzas

You spitting 

And look at you Sagaboy

Watch how you whining!

The jab jab crew

Your strings 

still pulling
