Hiding our heritage, to keep us into bondage.

They stole our culture, to say we got no future, Destroyed our tradition, to keep us into subjection.

They took the natural living and turned it into artificial living. They took the social living and turned it into socialism They took the communal living and turned it into communism. They took the capital living and turned it into capitalism.
