The Divided Land

On the far end,
People are coming,
Passing over oceans,
Over mountains and valleys,
Marching to the fertile land,
Oh! Africa,have you explored your land?

Invaders are coming,
Coming to acquire your wealth,
Coming to poses your land,
Coming with all their tricks,
Oh! Africa,have you explored your land?

Corrupt! Corrupt! Leaders,
Are ruining your land,
Letting invaders acquire your grandfather's land,
Only thinking about their gains,
Oh! Africa,have you explored your land?

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
