RED CARD

By Tikum Mbah Azonga

I stopped him, yes
I halted him in his tracks
Because I knew what he was in for
The new moon was up
And the axeman already wielded his weapon.

That's why I stopped the fool
You know, only fools go where angels fear to tread
Today, look at what he would have got
The entire sky on his head
And at what cost!
