The Quartet

Aha! Where is Kwame Nkrumah? Black-unity champion with cocoa-filled head whose Calabash never misses palm wine for elders; Departure to bliss not a reality, tell us why? Everything must be done to wake up Patrice Lumumba Freedom fighter for Zaire- the lion of the exploited Gave your blood to water the tree of liberty, Is truly the Martin Luther King of Africa, Join us again, animate our spirit of struggle for liberty Kambarage Nyerere, are you still praying for brotherhood? Mouth dripping honey, soul pulsating love for all New, healthy tomato in stained basket of governance Open the door of freedom; Jump into the ring. No delay People-powered Nelson Mandela, are you coming back? Quartet member of the moving train of liberation Recall that you’re the curative Aspirin of power-ache Stronger than the cruel stones of Ruben Island Time for Africa to fly away from Ruben Island Unfortunately Ruben Island guards still arrest Very many and paint them “Old boys of Mandela”!
