GOLD FOR GUN ---AFRICA

Book Review by: KATUMAY    

Original Author: ERNEST DELVYS DOYI
                          
  GOLD  FOR  GUN  ----  AFRICA
In the dreaful wind blown from the Western wings
To the spotted fields of Africa
Rich in bauxite, diamonds,gold and coca plant
The wolves in sheep cloth
Carried arms and  duggers poised with venom
Ready to stab,bite and fan the wounds cold
Landed like Eagles with world power
And as doves without blemish stood tall
Under the pretence of peace,love,unity and development for all nations
And clobber the people with honest triffles
To sell the diamonds  and gold for gun
Gold for gun oh mother Africa!
The wolves set conflagration on your heads
That the trepidation sent high the cry of the babies
Drawn thousands to their premature graves
And displace ten thousand wombs of the earth
But the woes of the African descent touch not the heart of the greedy wolves Gold for gun oh mother Africa
The blood of innocent amputees
Laments everyday and night in the lonely streets of
Sierra Leon,DR Congo, Sudan and Rewanda
Where one  by one your children are  gone
Gold for gun oh mother  Africa
Awake  ooh  awake  oooh  awake from your slumber
And restore hope and faithful smile
To your once united children of Eve!!!
