Why are Traditionalists so gentle?

Why can’t they fight back? Why can’t they also do this or that ?.
This particular verse when you remember, you will try to calm down:
A kii somo Babalawo ka binu,
A kii somo Onisegun ka saigbodoran
A kii somo Baale ka baluu je.
we cannot be the child of herbalists and display recalcitrance.
And we cannot be the child of community leaders and spoil the community.
we are meant to repair, not destroy.
