The Nomadic Empress

I am the Nomadic Empress
A Queen Sheba descendant
A modern-day Mary
Fighting corruption and injustice

I am a humble servant
of the only one who deserves it
The Creator of the Universe and everything in it

For pomp and glory I have no care
May not be rich, but in my heart
a real millionaire

Peace, Mercy & Justice
are the corner stones of my kingdom
A safe haven for the weak
and no room for oppression

My world is one where
the truth is known to all
My leaders prioritise peace
and limit the prospects for war

I am the Nomadic Empress
writing to express my distress
So listen up!
Cuz I'm about to teach you
a valuable lesson

Putting pen to paper
I'll inform you of how to be a true leader

First thing you gotta understand
The nation is not a property of you and your gang

Government is a sacred trust
and a heavy responsability
That must be discharged in the name of the Almighty
For the sake of community

A leader must have elegance
strength and intelligence
Although public duty can at times
be a real menace

Like Henry Ford once said
Coming together is beginning
Staying together is progress
But only working together
leads to the path of success

The Bible says where there is no vision
people will perish
While the Quran teaches you
to repel evil with goodness
As a true leader your only mission
is to ensure this

Greed must be replaced with gratitude
And gratitude is not an act but an attitude

Honour cannot be found in
a bank account filled with a million
Nor can it be gained through
a bullet or a gun
For it is only he who honours himself
who is the truly honoured one

I am the Nomadic Empress
Writing to express my distress
Over the corruption and injustice
of which I am a witness

How can you leaders sleep at night
While your people suffer
Do you not hear their plight??

No! A true leader can never
go to sleep with a full belly
while his people go hungry

As a true leader you must be visionary
Put the extra in extra-ordinary
And commit to your role like a missionary

I am the Nomadic Empress
writing to express my distress
So if you feel my word
Don't just sit and curse the darkness

Take a solemn vow to change the globe
with the Lord as your only witness
