Messy Massa

The lights go on
messy Massa came in
chanting, laughing
brawling, brightening
the party takes off

Queen of midnight
messy Massa treasures the fun
scatters it all around
for the prince and the slave
for the frog and the bird

Messy Massa is confused
too many tracks 
full of fancy scented mud
too many people
who need her candid cheerful fire
there’s no easy way out

But her soul is haunted
by thrill and adventure
and no fence will delay
her bold voyage
to the hills and beyond

Now she is in the island
where the britons sent their crooks
in order to embrace
their indulgent lord and four bloody crowns
now she is having a blast
with the spiders and the sharks

The island
where people have names
like Patricio, Newmo or Jessuan
and laugh under the sun and cry by the sea
with an unbreakable smile on their face

The island
where we all want to live
electrify our guts, shake our brains, clean our hearts
with primal emotion, new views, pure things
and spend the rest of our days
with messy Massa and our dear friends
