Analysis of Monster
Afeez Olugbemiga 1972 (Lagos)
There isn't no monster in you
You are an angel
And just as the angel in you deserve the best
The best deserves you
And mother earth adores you
But mother Africa adores you most
Because mother Africa bore you
And you made her proud
Always remember
Not only South Africans celebrate your success
But all races across Africa
Because you are a living symbol of African pride
Your native act, which epitomizes creativity from our black world
Though you are white outside
Your blood and thoughts are black
And black is Golden
