Tears From Africa: by BiafranFirstSon(m): 11:22am On Oct 08, 2011
Tears,anguish,sorrow,pains and agony
We experience in our daily lives
Things are taking a turn to the worse
Yet,we want to carry on to survive
I know you are not happy
at the rate your children are loosing their lives
Each time i see you in my dream
i see you with tears,why must it be so
Mama Africa ,Why

Millions of people we loose
Each time we fight
Millions again we loose
To vampires with vigilante cloths
And many more to ritualist
Many to accidents because of bad roads
Thousands to wild animals in Sahara while trying to
Escape the hardship in Africa to Europe
Why must it always be Africans
Mama Africa,Why

In the denomination
Catholics are fighting the apostolic
Anglicans fight the Presbyterians
Cherubims are the worst enemy of the Celestia's
Yet,they all keep the sabbath the holy
In honour of He who creates Africa
And in our hearts hides
Some evil thoughts by evil men
When i asked why it must be Africans
All i see is your tears
Mama Africa,Why

Aids was first seen in America
Now it is spreading in Africa
Those of us who went in search of greener pastures
Are coming back with this deadly venture
If Africa is good and accommodating
They will not go out looking for another paradise
Other continents are guiding their children
But why must we be the most affected
Why must it be your children
Mama Africa, Why

I see you crying again
Stop and tell me for once
When will this storm be over
Mother of blacks,When.

Cool and Touching!
But could have been done better with rhymes.
