DEAR AFRICAI have heard your story And seen your trouble, The hate, the racism and the injustice I have worn your shoe And felt your pain The wickedness, the intimidation, The arrogance, the marginalization Dear Africa, I have witnessed your fears The hunger, the starvation and the intolerance, The unfairness, greed and greediness And the haunting tales of slavery. Dear Africa, rise against the dark Above the blackness, not black Cheer, steer and wheel the steel Love yourself, pride in your nature Resist the windy and bomby path For green is your strength and valour, Dear Africa, we love you Mama Yes, just the way you are. WHATEVER HAS WINGSI am a pigeon With the blade of a surgeon To cut loose this dungeon. I am a raven Tamed and wild, I was given To reach the heaven. I am an eagle I am one, I cannot tangle For here is a dungeon. I am a dove Always on the move To consecrate love. So wherever the cage I am not in bondage For I am on rampage. Though I am dry I belong to the sky, Though I cry I must always try, For whatever has wings Is destined to fly. WOMANHOODO womanhood The mother of manhood And father of brotherhood Your strength is enormous And your breath, courteous. O womanhood The warming firewood That gathers the neighbourhood, O womanhood The palatable food That sustains livelihood. We appreciate you We love you We admire you We salute you, O womanhood The diamond garden Of diamond roses. OUR DEAR PLANET our dear planet Attractive like a magnet, Beautiful and wonderful O how I love you Despite all you go through I pray everyday And hope that someday All would fall in line And you would be fine So that my wait Would not be a portrait. MOTHER, MY FIRST GODDear mother My first love, None other My first move. Dear mother My first friend, None other My first mend. Dear mother My first healer, None other My first lender. Dear mother My first teacher, None other My first seer. Dear mother My first dreamer, None other My first giver. Dear mother My first lover None other My first cover. LOVE IS MY RELIGIONLove is my religion I do not preach hate. Love is my motto I bear the logo. Love is my game It has no shame. Love is my rule It is in control. Love is my answer It gives no cancer. Love is my hope It goes beyond the rope. Love is my bed When all is red. Love is my flower Under it I shower. Love is my speech Without any ditch. I love love I hate hate, We live love We die hate, Love is my religion. LOVE IS AWESOMEIf you love well You live long, If you love real You heal all. If you grow love You silence anger, If you bear men You create far. Love is great It can sweat, Love is green It can yield, Love is passionate With great compassion, Love is a mountain With a beautiful fountain. Love outlives prejudice Love overcomes injustice, Love overbears burden Love subdues war. Never underestimate love For east, west, north and south Up, down, front and back Within and without Love rekindles life And sustains health. THE HAND OF GODWomen are great
They love like god And rule like lion They survive ills And thrive even in odds, They need love, real love. Women are angels They watch the city And build the home They destroy strongholds And inspire the land, They need care, true care. They are the hand of God They utilize everything And make waves Do not hurt them Do not harm them, Women are rich in gifts. Keep the world safe Sweep the land Accommodate them Let nothing hinder women. Help them extend these hands These hands of divinity The hand of God, Plant it, let it germinate for harvest.
