#AFRICA

She feeds nations but fails to breast feed her own
she is the epitome of wealth,my Africa
But they will not let her harvest her own
She has endowed her children with knowledge
Ask about the brain drain

Yes,she is beautiful,beauty packed and sold
beauty that does not at all benefit her
They know how to crawl in
they called it 'development loans'
sunk her in so deep in debt she can barely float

Africa,the land that once thrived on authenticity
The land that the Creator blessed with so much melanin
Her children now scrap it away as they scrap away their culture
They call it civilization
They said herbalists are demonic
see pastors staging resurrections!

Africa chose this
She chose to be paraded publicly and slowly stripped
The second age colonization is here
oops!I meant "chinazation"
Who will save Africa?
