Africa! Africa!! Africa!!!
What is the pride of a man without freedom?
What is the beauty of a woman without a home?
What good does friendship produces without trust
What is need for food without appetite?
What is the need for power without authority?
What is the need, crying for a child when there is no womb to the pregnancy?
What is the joy of a mother watch her baby being thrown into the pit?
I cried out with pain
I screamed with agony
I shouted dying inside of me
Witnessing the killing and shooting of the innocent souls
All for the sake of colors
Arise Africa! Arise Africa!! Arise Africa!!!
For the time is now to cry no more
A man does not escape from is shadow
Africa a great land of honor and pride
Africa the home of great warriors and hero’s
The land of our forefathers that springs up honey and flows with milk
I will always remember you Africa for your braveness

Dominic Jolaosho Poem
I raise my head early in the morning toward the north
Watching the early morning sun set
The evil of mankind rises with the sun setting
To the North, South, East and west.
The world is surrounded by evil
And the evil dwells in the heart of men
I cried out from the North, for help
I lifted my voice from the South, for rescue
I shouted aloud From the East, for justice
I screamed in pain and agony from the West, for mercy
Brothers Killing brothers to acquire wealth
Sisters killing sisters for the sake of having a good home
Kidnapping of children for rituals
Father rapping daughters for lust of the flesh
Mother’s prostitutes to enjoy the present temporary pleasure of life
Someone to lean on turns out to be someone seeking your life for money rituals
The best of your friends turns out to be the worse of your enemy
I have learn to cry no more, for the evil doer governs the world
I cry no more! I cry no more!! I cry no more!!!
