siphoning our raw materials still while in abject poverty we wallow taking away our gold, diamonds and platinum while we adorn our bodies with fake jewellery
propagating their anglophone ideas spreading their francophone thinking somewhere lusophone ideas held supreme african philosophies on the dung heap
the poisoned and stunted present crop choosing to forget marcus mosiah garvey choosing to forget kwame nkrumah choosing to remove reggae from airwaves
that dream should now bear fruit these chasms have to be bridged the senseless bickering should now end africa with mud and spittle get your sight
