GREAT MANDALA So I told him that he'd better Shut his mouth and do his job like a man And he answered, Listen, Father, I will never kill another He thinks he's better than his brother that died What the hell does he think he's doing To his father who brought him up right Take your place on the great Mandala As it moves through your brief moment of time Win or lose now, you must choose now And if you lose, you're only losing your life Tell the jailer not to bother With his meal of bread and water today He is fasting till the killing's over He thinks he's a prophet, but he's a coward He's just playing a game, he can't do it, he can't change it It's been going on for ten thousand years Tell the people they are safe now: hunger stopped him He lies still in his cell Death had gagged his accusation We are free now, we can kill now We can hate now, we can end the world We're not guilty: he was crazy And it's been going on for ten thousand years recorded by Peter, Paul and Mary @African @political @freedom filename[ MANDLA DC  8note Sheet |
