INFLUENCE OF TRADITIONS
Traditions that oppress restrict a nation,
bringing about rebellion and consternation,
people rise up and demand equality,
refusing to abide with oppressions reality.
Traditions of sexual immorality defile a nation,
second hand men to virgins bring lamentation,
already they're captive to the harlot,
sold their virginity with shame of scarlet.
Traditions without virtues are built of clay,
they don't have the strength to go all the way,
without justice and goodness it starts to topple,
lawlessness and corruption cause it to wobble.
Traditions without truth cannot be transparent,
becoming a nest of dishonesty not apparent,
respect and honour washes down the drain,
leaving the nation in a state of disdain.
