Mama Liberia

When freedom raise in her glorious form Mama Liberia,I saw U glow and bloom,not knowing U were dome, You were known for freedom songs,now you sit in the dark wondering what went wrong, With the lost of your youths U remain strong, Mama Liberia,U sit on your bench watching your children dig war trench where they laid fill with rage to kill without paid, Which is ill,knowing that we are brothers from U mother You saw your children pain,while they watch their homes burn in flames,with fingers pointing to a frame on the wall that is about to fall,U asked who's the blame?It's Charles Taylor your babies scream, I saw U smile when U heard that your sisters in the west(Ghana,Guinea,Nigeria & Sierra- Lone)were just a mile and your wait now is just a while; from your shores that was known as pilgrims best now salutes as the worst You had dreams of your children bringing U fame without games,educational celebrities exercising their liberties the true meaning of your name but instead we leave U in shame,Mama Liberia,I see U sitting on Montserrado virgin high waiting for the freedom bird to fly by,with your feet covered in ashes and your cries over power your riches,U wait as your children stay in crisis. May Freedom Prevail,Mama Liberia. PEACE:
