The Legend Of Locks

Popular stories have been told
Of just how locks became old
Who first started them and why
If worn, does the barer have to get high

Historically, locks were called dreads
To bring about fear, using our heads
Now it is a fashion statement
Bringing about world wide resentment

The true myth behind dread locks
Is the stereo types in Race blocks
Who wears locks now days and why
Are as wide and covered as the sky

The epic saga continues in young and old
So too the story of locks and its being bold
There is still a price to pay in the sporting
For there is still the whispers when reporting

Thus the romance to be had from the start
Bad boys and the establishment's discard
Women and their quick make over
Easy management under-cover 

Just who are the authentic locks men
The  deep rooted Lions of the bush band
Living of the land, with their far away look
Not as the forsaken, but as the forsook

Freedom has a look, and locks is its flag
Divorce has a price, and its found in a nag
So too, the ears of the bold are as Lions
Brave and brown, are borne about their loins.
