THE BIG MAN
He parks his car at the village square
And decides to take a stroll
But at each corner he looks
He hears their cries
He sees their pain
Their women bent over in pains
And within he melts
Or was he?
Because he calls for a village meeting
On the podium his big voice could be heard saying
“I will build the schools”
“I will bring the light”
Then in a moment, the people see a light
Behind him they form a line
And pledge their support, their life
The BIG MAN enters the glass office
He thinks
Oh! My Belinda, what can I do for you?
He buys her a car
He thinks again
Oh! My Sussana, what will make you happy?
Then he throws her a party
He buys a house at Manchester
He buys another at Cincinnati
Below the people cry
But his neck has become heavy
He can no more look down
He is receiving a call from Linda
So he can no more hear their cries
In despair, the people cry
Judgement will come upon you
He throws back his head and laughs
When did you become gods?
We are the gods of the land
He throws back his head and laughs loud
The people lift up their voice and cry loud
One day, just one day
The BIG MAN will sleep on the laps of Amanda
And will never wake up
