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.
