Africa Today

Do I need to tell you, About the vileness in Africa Today And the gone bye of solidarity Do I need to tell you about Africa Today, I mean about the incumbent government And the politician that connive in the dark Whispering lies with no conscience to scorn The Economic mismanagement and embezzlement at all cost Illiteracy, unemployment and mismanagement of land Do I need to tell you, About all the mischievous in Africa Today And how our people are been demoralized After all this year's our people still roam in pagan land Oh! Africa Today, full of disruption Myopia chieftain that got paid for their blunders Civil war, job devoid and dictator obsessed with power Did you see the totalitarian and the oligarchy In Africa of today, where is the freedom? The one Nelson Mandela fought for and the one Which Tafawa Balewa of Nigeria fought for Democracy Bleed in Africa of today Hunger stricken wobbles its Society In Africa of today, full of setback Although having a thriving population And abundant natural resources, It is still one of the most and poor continents. Where the government are very poor in their planning They invested in areas that do not improve the lifestyle of their people Do I need to tell you That Africa of today still held captive By the magnificent chain of the whitish Mammoth of the earth bleeding and tearful in its tundra Xenophobia attack between Africans Allowing the lines of the boarder to separate us Africa Today
