AFRICAN BEAMS

When whispers shout out pain in silence
And echoes rejoice in gladness
A crowd of smiles in absence
Yet the back bone spares no one regardless
I get to understand what it means
To be African in beams.

When lonely nights strike
And songs of sorrow envelop with pride
A lake of tears floods with spike 
Yet the backbone attacks in raid
I get to understand what it means
To be African in beams

When heaven finally opens up
And hears the cries all in a wrap
A song of cheers elopes from their hives
For the backbone a shadow now cast with knives
I get to understand what it means
To be African in beams
