With music to make his heart free

Eve Of Choice
EVE OF CHOICE
Drink your wine O youths
Snuff your boxes O elders
Take your selfish young ladies
Cook your meals warm mothers
Dust your chalk O teachers
Rest your cases O lawyers
Rhyme your words O poets
Loud your verses O singers
Flair your stage O actors
Smoke your ganjas Rastafarians
Salut your generals O soldiers
Say your prayers O reverend
Let's set our paths as we match
For tomorrow we vote
