The Great Confession

When I said I will build you a great nation

That was a Lie

When I said no Congoes, no Dingoes but one nation

That was a lie

When I said no longer we beg for bread

That was a lie

When I said to uphold, protect and defend

That was a lie

When equality I proclaimed for all

That was a lie

When I said no Vai, no elite Monrovia but a nation of one

That was a lie

When I said from Cape to Cape we shall walk on gold

That was a lie

When I said the prime of teens I preserve

That was a lie

That this land shall be the star of the western Coast

That was a lie

When I said we will evolve to higher heights

That was a lie

When I said crooked ways are of the past

That was a lie

But when my conscious said I was doomed to die

It was the truth underscored.
