Old Engine

old engine
the land need to be cleaned
so the old pier
 either die or Ieave
they are no longer useful 
to Africa 
their guidance is 
washed in evil 
as we swim in poverty
in the midst of plenty 

old engine
they are old yet 
they still want to die 
in power 
even when they see the 
hardships in the lifes 
of his own people
their heart remains heartless
and never willing to change 
nor change the peoples life 

old engine 
they can't function normally
cos they are old and got no vision
yet they can't gave us a chance
they can't guide the youth 
we need them
only to retire and let 
all Africa be free

the voice of the 
youth
