Funny humor and satirical poem


Human Nature

HUMAN NATURE

CHORUS
Lumumba the son of Mogusu
Born in the Congo
Arised in the slums and the ghetto
Of Soweto

VERSE ONE
As Lumumba grew up little did he know he had a future
Lumumba watched the young lady he loved taken away by a suitor
Lumumba was poor and couldn't afford to go to school
Lumumba borrowed books from friends so that he wouldn't be a fool
Lumumba walked miles and miles with his bare feet
When Lumumba was hungry he couldn't afford to eat
Lumumba watched time fly as he sat in his little hut
When Lumumba went to the kitchen but there was nothing in his pot
Lumumba was hard working and he sought to make a living
He gave one penny to the church at Thanksgiving
Lumumba joined the army to serve his nation
During the Second World War and the Great Depression
Lumumba fought hard and became a general
Lumumba was loyal and attended the president's funeral
Lumumba! Head of State of Uganda
A country in East Africa
Formerly called Buganda
Now Lumumba is asked to move his country forward
Lumumba had forgotten his past and had become wayward
Lumumba Mogusu!

CHORUS
Lumumba the son of Mogusu
Born in the Congo
Arised in the slums and the ghetto
Of Soweto

VERSE TWO
Lumumba had forgotten that he was not born in Uganda
Lumumba had forgotten he slept 6 months in a veranda
Lumumba ask a friend to help him forge a birth certificate
His friend did well and the certificate was great
Lumumba executed those who called him a bastard
Even poured on the face of the army chief milk and custard!
Lumumba gave his orders from a yacht in the sea
Lumumba had the best wine and food in company
Economic situation began to decline
While Lumumba was busy feeling a lady big behind
Lumumba called the world leaders I need more money!
And the world leaders reply Lumumba you must be funny!
Lumumba had forgotten where he started from
This human nature
Memory flies when you are having fun
A coup d etat is planned against Lumumba and men
Lumumba is assassinated
So that brings it to the end
Lumumba Mogusu

CHORUS
Lumumba the son of Mogusu
Born in the Congo
Arised in the slums and the ghetto
Of Soweto
