Africa, the Raped Bride
Poor Africa, why av u allowed ur ancient precious priceless beads taken away from u while coveting after a common coated carved stones from the foreign lands?
They took away your treasured garment and seal u with an ''unsuitable suit'' from a distant land.
They insert straw in a bottle and dip it in your mouth, but fix hose to your anus and pass it into a tank.
They took away your staff of office with which you have peacefully and successfully lead for centuries, and gave you guns in return to scatter your wards around, thereby losing your respect.
Africa, where is ur sense of supremacy of those good days, before u were made to look inferior?
Will you still allow this train to continue with the hopeless journey? No i heard you say.
Africa needs ''A TASTE OF CHANGE AND NOT A CHANGE OF TASTE''
