If You See Africa

If you see Africa Tell her that I am in love with her Tell her that I love her more than ladies Love recharge cards and strawberry Tell her that I love her more Than the politicians do Tell her that I love her with blindness To her weak economy And dead refineries If you see Africa Tell her that her pregnant mothers are not Happy with her lack of hospital needs Tell her that education is not a crime It is our birthright Explain to her that governance Is for progress not an iron fist Tell her that we don't hate her But we hate her blindness To prosperity No tell her it because of her Child abuse and lack of electricity If you see Africa Tell him that he is impotent Tell him that I am not happy With his corruption band That is tick ticking as time bomb Tell him that poverty is not A necessity it is like the pots holes On our roads it kills Tell him that he has failed us with Beautiful failure We no longer live in anger but Laugh in pains as patients in Sick bay For his children goes to school With sweating stomach Let me ask is governance a crime Tell him tell her she is our salvage
