The original version
Who Deserves A Macron Slap?
If he spits melodic lines
But with beasts he whines and dines,
He deserves a Macron slap
And a knock without a cap…
If he’s rude and blocks his ears
To the souls that gift him cheers,
He deserves a Macron slap
And a knock without a cap…
If the souls under your tents
Are wounded with stabs and dents,
You deserve a Macron slap
And a knock without a cap…
If they feel they matter most
And with wealth they only boast,
They deserve a Macron slap
And a knock without a cap…
If they act like deaf and dumb
To oppress with gun and bomb,
They deserves a Macron slap
And a knock without a cap…
If they bring calamities
To Afrosia communities,
They deserves a Macron slap
And a knock without a cap…
If they grab the tit- clitris
Of wombed men with no discreet,
They deserves a Macron slap
And a knock without a cap…
If they “trump” around the world
Like the ghosts of underworld,
They deserves a Macron slap
And a knock without a cap…
If you fail to train your child
And they turn untamed and wild,
You deserve a Macron slap
And a knock without a cap…
If you beat the drum of war
And you look for safety door,
You deserve a Macron slap
And a knock without a cap…
If you toy with tail of snake
But you wait for it to rake,
You deserve a Macron slap
And a knock without a cap…
If you’re beaten countless times;
Yet you say they’re free of crimes,
You deserve a Macron slap
And a knock without a cap…
If you lash a gentle soul
Idolized like Indian doll,
You deserve a Macron slap
And a knock without a cap…
