AFRICA

 

How did we get here? 
Who brain drained you? 
When you ignore the Holy Book, 
You pay for your ignorance. 

Candles mock at your woes, 
Redemption lies on the Cross, 
Religion is a lucrative business, 
Fake powers everywhere!

They hide their sources of powers, 
Some bury theirs in foundation, 
Some in mantles, 
Fake prophecies echo in their walls. 

How long will you be deceived? 
You perish for lack of knowledge;
knowledge of the truth, 
Religion has caged us for decades. 

Africa! 
Your nzuzu has no cure, 
Drop the filty garments of religiosity, 
And come to the truth, 
Or be consume in bloodshed.
