Let Them Hate Each Other
Let them hate each other to the full
when an enemy is making mistakes
stand on the walls and look down
make no move to interrupt anyway
Let them hate each other to the full
the chattels let them destroy all
crops in gardens let them not give a hoe
and when they are dying we rescue
Let them hate each other to the full
the children laugh crying each day
pregnant mothers bruise knees praying
perhaps they will wake up and behave
Let Africans hate each other to the full
we shall come and pick the sweet spoils
