The nights belong to us

 

SAM_1027

Poor men rule the nights of Port Moresby

The rich are scared shit of koboni

Look at their barbed wire fences

And their various defenses

For while they live like prisoners

The nights belong to us

 

It is only during the day

That they come out to play

Like bullies in a school playground

They try to trample us to the ground

Yet when the days come to pass

The nights belong to us

 

We are the homeless of 3 mile

We are the vendors of 5 mile

We are all free men

We are all free women

We are the ones you love to cuss

Because the nights belong to us

 

We shall never be your slaves

Nor shall we be like animals in fortified enclaves

We fear no evil on earth

As we walk through the shadows of death

For the Sun, the Moon and the Stars

And the lonely Mosbi nights belong to us

Koboni – evil sprit, ghost

Mosbi – Port Moresby, Capital of Papua New Guinea
