Discarding Mediocrity

Somebody should kindly tell if we hail from greed. For so many years’ darkness has thrown its effect on a nation, Everyone on the globe tries to please each other. Sounds of slavery is tearing the heart of humanity into distress. Cruelty rules all over the beautiful cities straight down to the hinterlands. In the midst of danger, hills fight against mountains. Breaking down the core relevance defining peace. Shame is running down the veins of men. Blood is seen on a sword, The sword belonging to a deadly lord. Who is killed? I guess a Dracula`s belly is already filled? No statement found as answer. Weakening true power through untreatable cancer, No place for righteousness to dwell in as a secured goal. Inequity seems to be the head of a broken home, Where bad leaders keep fix to get its head bone. Across the borders do we see sets of deadly flags, Towards us are singers of horrific tunes against blacks. Oppressed under alienated rule, From hundred years ago with a deal to make a Blackman a fool. Society got nothing to change a mood, Condition is teaching about the pain of stings. For what then have all got to break out of doom? Perhaps, that`s when mediocrity is deleted from what Africans think. Then switch to what enlightenment brings.
