AFRICA
Mouth that speak would die
The mute shall live but soon go with the cowries
I rather go though not with my name
Walls shall bear it all.
Africa mother Africa the land of evil
Dwelling in the shadow of herself
With the same hymn of yesterday
Planted with nothing to harvest
Like wild goose chase your seeds are going the way they came
Pity Africa, weep for yourself
In your eye so brutal
I view the scene of destruction
Killing minds with a toast to corruption
The denotation you denied you now embraces
Black the colour of funerary.
