Carnival is a Bacchanal And the theme song is "Get on Bad", That's the way it has always been In Tobago and Trinidad. While some strive to strike a balance Between the Sacred and Profane, Profane proves to be the winner Again and again and again. Though wanton promiscuity At Carnival so prevalent, The attitude of some " Christians" Often appears ambivalent. Mas'- playing priests seem to condone Jamette behaviour in the bands, So people feel they giving praise Anytime that they raise their hands. They fool themselves into feeling That they can clean up the Carnival, But when you worshipping Bacchus God cyar be in that Bacchanal. 'Cause if you agree with Rudder : "Town is Church and road your Altar" Eucharist becomes jam and wine.. So jack up de nearest bumper. By rubbing two sticks together Primitive man would start a flame, When young bodies rub together And they get hot- then who's to blame? So much of what we call dancing Let's admit, is in fact foreplay, So dogs in heat will roam the street Seeking sex on Carnival Day. Virginity not so precious With the young 'ladies' of today Since most of the soca singers Encourage them to break away Some young ting in tongs goin in town Shoving dey bumper in man face, So Macho feel is he duty To jack dem up and gih dem wais'. Rio say doh try to resist Because doing it so dam sweet, So once you sure you condomize... Sexotise to de Soca Beat. Some Christian Youths make a statement Advocating celibacy, Bravely choosing the narrow path Of a taunted minority. Well done, good and faithful children, I think I hear the Saviour say, I know it's hard, but follow me, I will never lead you astray. Gene Wilkes Cocoyea |
