Still Africa

The sharp horn of the rhino cannot protect his kingdom The ivory cache of the elephant cannot buy his freedom Hide the bullets from the machine gun He aims at his children and fellowman The sharp thorn of the boma cannot protect his village From the suicide bomber who seeks only to pillage His pride 'The King of the Jungle' is shot Hunted and endangered by the men for sport Shave his beard to give him a new expression Take off his old veil to shed his radicalization African minds aspire for a new economic empire Aiming for the west, Africa is caught in the crossfire
