"Tears of Gold"
In Nigeria's delta, where rivers flow,
A legacy of pain, forever grows.
The tears of gold, shed for our past,
Echoes of colonialism, forever last.
From Soweto's streets to Congo's mines,
Our ancestors' blood, forever entwines.
In Ghana's forts, where slaves were sold,
Our stories hidden, our voices cold.
In Rwanda's hills, where genocide reigns,
Tears of gold, forever stain.
In South Africa's townships, where freedom's call,
Echoes of Mandela, forever stand tall.
In Ethiopia's highlands, where empires fell,
Tears of gold, forever tell.
Our resilience, like the Sahara's sand,
Enduring, unbroken, across this land.
In Nigeria's heart, where Biafra's scars remain,
Tears of gold, forever sustain.
Our voices rising, like the Harmattan wind,
Demanding justice, forever to begin.
Yet, from the ashes, a phoenix rises high,
A new dawn breaks, and hope meets the eye.
Our tears of gold, now seeds of change,
Growing a future, where love rearranges.
With every step, our ancestors' pride,
We rise, united, side by side.
Our voices loud, our stories told,
A brighter tomorrow, forever to unfold.
