David Munene wa Kimberly - Africanize Africa [Sestina]

That Heaven must be this far br When Africa needs it desperately br Whilst Africans are for blood hungry br For none other than black blood br Drawing machetes and pulling triggers br With a lot of sense that is nonsense br br There is just too much nonsense br The reason Africa is this far br Injustice sires and hatred triggers br Selfishness and egocentrism infecting desperately br Promoting for no reason bad blood br Always eating ravenously, yet ever hungry br br Time needed for feeding the hungry br Is utilized in debates full of nonsense br Provoking each other and drawing blood br Without realizing how far, far is far br Virulently taking on each other desperately br Planting bombs and pulling triggers br br The deafening sound after pulling triggers br Frightens life out of the weak and hungry br Fighting for power persistently yet desperately br And crippling African power with idiotic nonsense br Seeking allies from overseas and far br Thirstily in a crazy rush for fellow blood br br In our departed ancestors’ blood br There is a cry that shame triggers br But Africa is ever to busy and far br To heed that cry so hungry br Occupied in futility and nonsense br Whilst our ancestors plead desperately br br Voices from black cemeteries try desperately br Urging Africa to stop spilling its own blood br But Africa mistakes the voices for nonsense br Charging further with warring triggers br Whilst African children still hungry br Depart to grab and kill from near to far br br Black insurgents pulling triggers desperately br Their nonsense is pushing peace away too far br Blood is spilling while Africa remains hungrybr br David Munene wa Kimberlybr br
