The Cry of the African Poor

We have done You no Wrong

Our ancestors were Wronged by Yours!

Uprooted and condemned to Slavery

as non-beings even less than an Animal

to benefit Your ancestors and You, their successors

through inheritance, connections and privilege!

And the exploitation, indoctrination, oppression,

manipulation, the hatred, the dislike and marginalisation

of Our people continue today as You dominate, inexorably

fueled by Racism, devised by You to invoke and perpetuate caste

and adopted by your Mimics and Soul Mates

And We experience the pain, agony and anguish!

the disillusionment, distortion and rage as we

struggle for survival in Babylon,

where unnecessary suffering and unfair treatment abound.

When will You Wake Up, you oppressors!

Know, understand, and in remorse, temper and overcome

Your undying love of Mammon, Your God, Change dem ways

and turn to genuine love with compassion, a sense of fairness,

empathy, consideration and concern for All.

We shall Overcome!
