Weep !oh Africa
Lament! the mother of black race
The lives of your children worth less than nickel
It is death all the way
Stay it Africa,it is death
Death through hunger
Death through kwashiokor
Death from starvation
Death through suicide
Many die!
Some killed by armed robbers
Many died in hands of security agents
Lives becoming brutish ,nasty and short
Like is Hobbesian space
Death! Death and Death everywhere
Hopeless, forlorn and desperate, some Africans reasoned
Stay in the land of famine
The hopeless space
They forsaw ,they envisioned the land flowing with milk and honey
They saw better future in unknown
They like drunken sailors
Like demons unchained
Set out to take the risk
Searching for the greener pastures
Their leader fiddling even as Rome burns
Lords of Manor engaging in tomfoolery
While the children of Africa
Set out saying
“If we perish, we perish”
The journey of unknown began
But they didnt forsee what awaits them
The hungry demon called queen of coast waits
Blinded by pursuit of their vision
Marshalling their strategies
Believing their God
Children of Africa plunged into Mediterranean sea
Which unlike the Red sea was too wicked to part.
They all perished
Their vision
Their misson
Their aspirations all died with them
Yet their leaders unperturbed
still fiddling
Weep for Africa
Weep for children of Africa
God have mercy.
