Mama Africa

On thy breast I suck On thy belly I walk On thy hand I cluck On thy nose I cock On thy orders I talk With your knuckles I knock With your brain I fork With your tears I shock With your mouth I pork In your warmth I rock In your agony I sock In your sweat I work In your strength I pluck Mama Africa I know you sleep not Your sleeplessness has watered the African root You have suffered for all that is black in colour You have laboured for the Negritude race You have toiled for the Black ******* You remain our source of inspiration You remain our point of innovation You remain our fountain of knowledge Your innate unique creativity remains our pride Even if today is stormy and stuffy Yesterday bouncy and bumpy Tomorrow will be juicy and yummy Mama Africa, Sprinkle on us ceaselessly the water of life.
