Liberty Has Not Come

If it is God who chooses leaders, then he has failed.
My people are starving. Others are dying
Because of the Man He chose for us.

If it is God who chooses leaders, then he was wrong-
For liberty has not come. Our leader has become a tormentor.
His battalions feeding on our blood.

Where is the truth? Where is the liberty?
Why do we have to pay money to get a job?
And yet our fathers pay a lot of money on our tuition.

Why does everyone look too stupid?
Why do they say God chooses leaders?
Where is the lie?

40 years down the road,
We have seen only Suffering-
From the leader God chose for us.

If it is God who chooses leaders, then his committee needs redemption.
They should be fired-
Because here- Liberty has not come.
