Africa! Africa! Africa!
Are you crazy?
The land of milk and honey
Corrupted by ill greediness
Romantic political influences
Blood thirsty to human life
War and genocide
Will this cruelty?
Relieve you from hatred
Traumatized politicians
Created no mercy
Bomb! Bomb! Bomb!
Oh! Dear civilians’ lives
Debilitated to metal legs and limbs
Thousands run with minors care
War created single parent
The remains of wars
Inherited nothing
But unforgivable selfishness
Anyway, who will bear their burdens?
Is it the sympathetic world?
Is killing the alternative?
Or diplomatic approaches
Leaders! What a mournful life?
To unborn generations
Oh! Dear civilians’ lives
We appeal to international community
Peace and humanity is not from heaven
Burdens of war traumatize
The victim of powerful struggle
Hear our voices
Africa! Africa! Africa!
Leaders!
Calm your tempers
Genocide and diseases are your enemies
Poverty and overdependence on foreign aid
Are your colonial masters?
