absolutely nothing stops the pipeline.

 

it penetrates all ways of life

all borders, all villages & towns---

the pipeline kills everything in its path if it dare stand in the way

the brave unbroken cast,
 
myriads of...

FEEL AFRICA

Silence!
Silence Africa!
One can hardly get Africa to be silent;
Africa habours a pulsating bubble.
Everyone in Africa bounces to rhythm resilient.

Swells with energy in the sun!

You see...

Our Shame, 

"PRESIDENT" & "LEADERS" 

Full grown men,
old,
devoid of vision,
Lacking in wisdom, 
wicked weaklings 
protected by paltry paid gun men 
great grandfathers, 
unwilling to train Younger Leaders.
Untrained themselves in morals & reputation,
Liars,  
Tired &...

Each mountain, sealed by...

We are quarreling over a graveyard of great ideas
Wandering under skies filled with flying political spears
Ideas are rotting under the soils dug by the unscrupulous
We buried our true identity and our mourning is pretentious
