Africans Are Humans Also
We are all humans not monkeys!
Africans are humans not Apes!
We have our pride to protect
We have our dignities and fate to guide,
treat us not like the dogs in the street.
Why slaughter our fate publicly?
Why enslave our own thoughts?
Check your environment and tell
If the sun that rises is not from Africa,
Don't bite the hand that is still feeding you.
This is our traces...
You came to us with mirrors,
you left with our heritage.
Our parents were blind to see
They fell and we failed in the quest.
This is our hope...
Shine through our evil end,
Talk to the bag of tricks played on us,
Then our vowed slaves shall be remembered
With water packaged in a basket of tears.
This is our fairy doom...
They naked our substances in the sea,
Our fathers died without their eyes closed,
Tomorrow they told to protect us from you,
but here we are slaves of our yesterday.
This is our today...
You still occupied our land in the name of civilization and modernization of trade.
The slave trade returns better and wiser,
We have no call to our deity again for life.
The life we live now we live in you...
Spotless fragments of spotless figures
When this is written in history, let all
Be told of how I said, we said and they said
Africans are humans also but, why this indifferent treatment?
