NOT MY AFRICA


This land of corrupt politicians
Rubbing Bellies full of stolen funds
Looting without a care
Killing with no remorse
Stoning gays, jailing Trans
This land full of Hate
Poverty and Ignorance
This is not my Africa
My Africa gives a reminiscence glow
Of Love so tolerant
Hospitality so warm
It embraced foreigners
Puts a roof over their heads
My Africa fed them
Africa of whom I sang odes
Loved without reservation
Gave without hesitation
Your hate is UnAfrican
Corrective rape is UnAfrican
Homophobia is UnAfrican
Intolerance is UnAfrican
Looting is UnAfrican
Genocide is UnAfrican
Ignorance is UnAfican!
From your greedy hate filled hands
We shall wrench back our Africa
Make it once again
The land of Love
Where Rainbow shines without Fear!
