Africa

We the missionaries of histories With boots of brute We march into mission With hunger and anger In the confidence of our pains In the scars of stars We the stir the rivers Our strength is drying Our hope is char with hypocrisies How many more hypocrites? How many more charlatans? Our many more gimmicks? Africa, The rhythms of corruptions Choke in the belly evil genius Africa, Homes of the blacks Where is your history? Where is your strength? Where is your spirit? Where is your future? awoh kingsley awoh
