The Bleeding Africa

the bleeding Africa
Africa is the cake 
of the hunters 
at a table some where 
In the west 
from yesterdays history
Africa was stabbed
chosen and divided
till now it still bleeds
it scars is obvious
home and abroad 
till today the hunters
are still hunting
so always we have
the bleeding Africa

the bleeding Africa
Africa still bleeds
in the well of poverty
we are sock with starvation
history with proves
never lie 
neither does the proves
with it obvious reality 
of Africa proves me wrong
am a young bleeding soul 
from Africa 
a human like everyone
yet it hurts to see 
what is your right 
denied 
taken away in Greed's
like we worth nothing
our land destroyed 
like we are nobody
our economy controlled
to devaluation 
like we are not accountable
of our own 
so here you see 
why always we have
the bleeding Africa

the bleeding Africa
Africa bleeds to wars
we are not far from Syria
we exist but walk in shadows
our hero's don't last 
our struggle never end 
our dream is always eternity
despite our grave yards 
are always full
full of the innocent
who did nothing evil to 
deserve an early grave
our old are sick
our hospital are worn out 
so our needs always remains
endless to no avail
starving people all over 
the place 
moving around in 
the bleeding Africa

the bleeding Africa
35 years I have seen 
the world 
35 years I see same
politician's controlling
Africa 
is obvious in 35 years
I realise they are mere 
pulpit
35 years I grow to see
they are not what we need
a man of 35years 
is no longer a boy 
he could be a president 
so in 35 years of my 
life on earth all I see 
from the old days till 
now is nothing but 
the bleeding Africa
