The Great Star of Africa

14-03-2023 Clear cut diamond 530 carats gem Mined in South Africa Queen Elizabeth I wonder How did you feel Knowing The Great Star Of Africa was never yours Did you think you would just bond With it during your term Or we would just forget that it came from Africa You made a blunder Which you never had to deal With the day you accepted it its force Elevated you even higher wherever you went As it sparkled on your sceptre and on your head It made you stand out in any room you find yourself or in any crowd You spent Your entire life mesmerized by it but now that you’re dead And Charles is about to be crowned King will he have the guts to bring it Back home where it belongs Will he finally see it fit I wait for that day where the wrongs You made are acknowledged and are made right The road ahead isn’t easy but it looks bright
