A Once Proud African Warrior

A once proud African warrior Shield and spear in hand Tall stood he, A mesmerizer Owner of his own land A once proud African mother Hoe and maize in in her hand Tall stood she, Providing her children with cover Owner of her own land Now a beaten down man Poverty and indignity in his hand Can only dream of being a warrior Slave in his own land Now a beaten down women Hunger and indignity in her hand Can only dream of her own soil Slave in her own land. I hope that a once proud nation, still has hope and free themselves from this iron rope.
