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
