In the name of Jesus: for Children of Ethiopians

The new pastor
Singing Hallelujah
Blesses
The children
As they stand for sale
The pastor
With crocodile tears
Sings
Hallelujahs
As he collects
His share
Of the resources
At the expense of parents

In the name of Jesus

The new breed pastor
Blesses
The helpless
In the land of Ethiopia
Where
Everything is on sale
The liberator
Godless and boorish
Selling children
To stay just five more years
