Am Deeply Concerned About Black Land

If bells of wisdom could jingle

How many black people will hear?

If melodius tune of change could be sung

How many black brothers and sisters could dance?

On black land dreams are real 

 

Why do we settle on crumbs on dining table?

Look, think ,reason , dream , above all wake up

Education is no longer a key to success

Black  Land  is surrounded by rich criminals and school dropouts

Fools occupy government positions, where are the learned?

 

Am deeply concerned about black land

Things that unite us don't matter to us

World cup unite us yet it's not played on our soils

Funeral homes unite us yet it's only sorrows and wailing

All fruits of our labour lies in basket full of holes

 

On the table of civilizations

A cake is spread and decorated with fine speeches

Super powers gives direction on how to cut it

Every power with its own share

Oh black land when will you be free?

 

We don't wrestle against black magic on black land

But against ignorance, deception and false fantasies

Gambling won't make us rich but our deserted fields will

Through knowledge and skills black land will fly

Breaking limitations is not done through fine speeches but through hardwork.

Yes it can be done.
