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
