Imagine, Predator
What if all Africans returned home?
The cradle of humankind would be rescued.
The hungry wolves would be kept at bay.
Mother Nature would be preserved.
Even at a high price to pay.
What if all Africans returned home?
Lives of Mama Africa's children in disarray would be saved.
Paradise would be home and never again away.
Self-love would be nurtured and preserved.
Mama's fake lovers would dread that day.
What if all Africans returned home?
Mama's boyfriends' candies, toys, used stuff, pocket change would be saved.
Mama wouldn't need to pray, pray, pray, pray, pray, pray and pray.
Mama would be the anointed one. Enough, she'd have prayed.
Mama would think of her sad past and simply be gay.
What if all Africans returned home?
Some would return loaded with fury and vengeance for the predator pissed.
Some would return with ideas and tools ready to bray.
Some would return different, having been turned.
Some would return simply gay.
What if all Africans returned home?
Predator, would you be sad and very annoyed?
Predator, would you be in total disarray?
Would you be ready to become the hay?
Or Predator? Would you be simply gay?
