Mama Africa

Mama Africa
She gave us a world

Inside this world 
Was all we ever ask for

She gave us nature 
To nurture our life's

Yet we are full 
Of ignorance

Fighting for what 
We don't need
Just to satisfy
Our urge

She gave birth
To love 
Yet we trow hatred 
Back to her face

What kind of humans
Are we today 
If we are to live 
With out her 

She gave us life 
Yet we chose to 
Destroy it 
Pollute it 
And live like 
She meant harm 
To our comfort

She saved us from
Darkness
Still we kill her 
Life 

And now 
Sooner or later 
We are so soon 
To destroy her world
Just because of our ignorance
