African Rape of Democracy
African rape of democracy
She is citadel of beauty,
Crown in all nature bulden
Nature made her, her blessing of
duty
Atlantic, Equator, desert are beauty
then
They came in Khaki and iron
Rape her raining to harmattan
season
Emptied, she is made in the sun
Her natural endowment with no
qualms
Africans weep, weep Africans with
folded arlms
The rape have her of a daughter in
disarms
Democracy a daughter of rape
They took to alt democracy in scope
Behind the khaki and iron
They promise a fresh face, fine con
But in disguise and vacuity
Democracy is rape by without in
pathy
Their companions family autocracy
Friends, relations said monocracy.
The rape anchor family, friends
bereauecrate
Democracy poor beauty she given to
tract
My heart weep, the horn of ship
which gain
Of miscarriage that goes to ocean
The iron fish not swallow OK, that
obtain?
Ocean iron fish and the rapist
Have a hand in this pist
Who thought the rapist the way of
ocean?
