The Black Light

In the midnight of 23rd May They heard a voice of cries A little saddy and sobby May might bright something misty! Seems to be strange when cries are out While others are laughing out loud! They shouted May brought candle in the dark The moon in the night The light of days has appeared Some shouted and others did! She has born,they kept shouting But though she was born Born from the cries,born from the struggles but she was born for the purpose I heard this from them! She was born Born for herself Born for her people! Yet she was born Born for her country Born for Africa!!!
