No One Cares
no one cares
looking around the world
you will realise
we are yet to live up Africans
for always we are suppressed
oppressed and brutalised
home and abroad we face
same torture
we have long been rooted
and isolated
yet the world will be lonely
without our existence
looking around the world
i see our life's are controlled
more than we fight
it doesn't mean we are weak
it doesn't mean we are not strong
could it be we don't exist
believe me may be the world
would have ended
if not for the sake of Africans
humanity
the world would have long been
forgotten and burned ablaze
how could we talk about
humanity with out talking
about Africa
we serve the world
with all we are blessed with
yet the world slap us to our face
right in front of our eyes
no matter what we offer
or suffer is clear
through our reality that
despite our struggles and
laments
no one cares
looking around the world
despite they fight our freedom
still we are the source
of their success
so i realise why even when we
hope for the best
our reality show the opposite
no wonder why we can't grow
if our human resources means
labour
where our human dignity
is devalued below an animal level
it been shown proved written
sang about to the world
the world see it
every day yet
no one cares
