Not An Evil Actor Poem by Hebert Logerie

Not an evil actor
As a great leader
A great leader fights for peace
A great leader stands for justice
Democracy does not smell
Like a foul dictatorship
Keep on ringing the bell
Of liberty and partnership
We are in this together
We want justice and peace
Now, today, not later
We abhor racism and injustice.

Not an evil actor
Not a vile entertainer
To lead a great country
Let ring the bells of integrity
Keep on fighting for liberty
Blow the horns of freedom
Of speech. High, on the dome
Of the cathedral, let the doves fly
Get up, stand up and rise
Let's go after the prize
For justice, we shall die
For love, we shall battle
For respect, we shall struggle
For our rights, we shall fight
God is the beacon and the light.
