Being an African a curse?

Sweating and toiling for our daily bread
yet we cannot lay our back to rest
because of the cross we have to bear
sharing from the burden of our ancestors
moving forward and backward without a pause Fighting for an unknown cause
Is being a descendant of Africa a curse?
Like a mist in the early morning
We are blinded by our agony and suffering
 Pain and hunger visit us daily
The rulers rule without pity
 The people serve with bitterness
We are deprived of our rights
 Colonized by the modern colonial masters
 Our black skin leaders with black hearts Unleashing terror and hell on us
killing our individual dreams Without remorse
 Lost in the mist I ask myself over and over again Is being a descendant of Africa a curse?
