Afrocentric Telepathy of Life.



Brought up by disillusioned
 parents,no future beyond
 the barb wires of slavery
 impoverished,told to study
 hard yet no future,getting
 food to eat so bleak.

 Life with all promises fails
 at death.Africans unite and
 stamp out slavery chains,give
 us this day our dail bread
 has given us thorns rather
 than hope,i wake i see loans
 coming yet no help is seen.

 We have a problem, we are told
 that we need change. I see life
 full of goodies yet we die. What
 is the purpose of life why are
 we here.Where do we go from here?
 Save me the affiance. Foundations
 we desire are built on falsehood.

 Save Africa save our purpose
 save us,save me. We must be
 heard.
