We Had A Family by Nobody: 8:23pm On Jul 20, 2014 |
WE HAD A FAMILY We had a family from long ago We lived in peace and love Devoid of violence except for War against disallowed exodus into our land Suddenly we had monsters in priestly garments Telling us that we lived in the dark and the deadly ages That we need to develop pass all those stages And embrace the civilization of the Mercedes They told us to go to the church and mosque To abandon our old ways We accepted Then our family started to rip apart Suddenly we turned villains Our brother became our enemies The family broke and we knew not of love anymore Peace became a tense of the past We no longer eat from the same plate We no longer unite anymore Our land and our blessings are being sold But all we do is fight it all bloody Our sense of humanity gone All the killings we’ve done We refer to our brothers as “they” See each other as infidels We’ve been divided and we’re ruled A family gone We had a family And it was Africa. |
