shambling shy
within narrow years! why?
black ugly situations
for our sorrowful nations
from cradle to cripple
they couldn't speak but grumble
why? religious affiliateship!
now endorsed into hardship
my people, our people
Africa, lost it's dimple
wow!! trading culture for bribe
wallowers of ethnocentrism, my honourable tribe
why do you now weep
for the truth you led to sleep
fleeing from justice
as perfect as its crystals and wonderous lattice
my people now like a crying baby
helpless in the arms of their fate, maybe
yet powerful in packs of dark melanin
absorbing pains like Sunrays, they'll win
our government, our iconic monuments
killing its own to fill it's elements
Saharan serpents with golden fangs as promises
spurring poisons of genocide in capsuled policies
why? why do we hunger even as blessed people
blemishless with the pride of black people
yet our songs have transcended into tributes
to honour her almost lost greatness, praised with flutes
our days persevered with sadness
our scholars subject to madness
equity strangled dead in fear
while minds waste away for insecurity here and there
hence these shackles must break
and every glory, we must awake
with one voice for Africa's
for her children, mothers, fathers, sons and daughters.
