Back to Us...

You walked on the sky and
they snatched you away
from happiness from unspoiled
beauty and tropical nights.
Our poems had no names
our land had no names
our history knew no time
time everlasting
was our theme our love
deep like our blackness.
Deep: The great lakes of Africa
the most fertile soil on earth
soil filled with minerals
the Heart of Africa
where the Nile the Congo
and the thundering Zambezi
are conceived and born.
Populated yet unspoiled
white man manage that!
Burundi
unspoiled
Mozambique
unspoiled
why do they start wars there
what make the white man
begin the crimes of Imperialism
then give us human rights?

You walked on the sky
and they snatched you away
for a bullwhip on a plantation
Go Home: we won't be niggers anymore.
Return to the unspoiled land the sacred soul
of Africa, before they destroy it.
UNSPOILED AFRICA
leave Your bad habits here
in America for the Americans
trash everywhere
cities smelling like sewage
homelessness
unemployment
taxes
kissing YTs ass for a stinking
wage slavery position
you want that instead of paradise
where we belong
where they snatched us from.
A land of no oppression
no burdens no hate no crime
no drugs no misery
a land where no white man ruled
no Imperialism no system
it is high up in the mountains where
the Nile the Kongo and the Zambezi
the heart of Africa
soo green
the Great Lakes of Africa
The most fertile soil on earth
Uganda too
eastern Kongo
western Tanzania and Kenya
that land is so precious
it is so rich in minerals
the soil can grow anything
EVEN PEOPLE!!
