Trapped African

God calls No-one heeds the call Live in the depths The African is trapped in motherland Calm seas Cries from the African birds Shouting from the slavery camps Cries of anger Streets full of poor blacks Prisions full of discrimination Live eternally in hell Colonies come and go Evil eyes Black innocents work for life Until one rised In the White discrimination The struggle is beautiful Now comes a myth We are free The first black president Hidden by white corruption Controlled by white leaders He has to talk white To be black Where is this misery ever going to end The life of blacks will never prevail We need a black prophet A black jesus A black Mohammad From the Egyptian pyramids To rise again The African dream Of beauty Of end of to struggle Long live the African dream

Interesting perspective....I have thought that myself I mean about the president. I think women are oppressed more than anyone world wide which is sad.
