You Can Tell They Are Gods Children

You can tell they are Gods children from the fruit from off their tree you can tell they are Gods children by the presents brought to thee Mary Mitchell Slessor was a bow that bridges Heaven with the love for all Gods children she brought peace and love to thee The Queen of the all Okoyong she fought, her whole life long in a battle built of passion and a hymn she sang out strong She fought against mythology the laws for killing twins She fought against the violence with respect her only crown She stood up to the warriors then drunk with English Rum she stood up to the Chiefs and kings and sometimes made them run She fought against injustice she fought against the pain and made a better living in the forest and the rain In truth she was the queen of love her fruit both strong and true she stopped the wars of hatred in the forest and dew
