o The Dark Continent


'Africa my beginning, Africa my end.
I was born here and I will die here,
Africa you bear my hopes and fears
Poverty, famine, crime and AIDS are words
which plague Mother Africa's name
These demons bring me shame
While people try to make Africa better,
a few let the hardship overpower them
Shame on them
They give up hope and go
about their knavish ways
Even though there's hope on the horizon,
be that as it may
They continue to destroy what little Mother Africa has
Africa is no longer what she was
'Mother Africa is weeping'
Yet a new dawn may be creeping
Mother Africa and her children are beautiful,
they know their place in nature
Even though hardship may corrupt good nature
In the name of ALL that is good,
I hope Africa will rise one day
And we'll stop the suffering before she frays
The words upon a famous poet, I hear
'Africa my beginning, Africa my end.
I was born here and I will die here.'
