EBONY CRIES

Mother Africa

EBONY CRIES

 

The sight of an old bone better than the fresh meddle

Didn’t ask for but a heritage of virtue

All about existence, birth room of humanity

Civilization and pavilion of creativity, the power house

Beauty mansion and gallery of diversity, junction of the world

Mother Ebony, linage of greatness, mother of the world

 

Ebony cries, a heart confession of pain and suffering

Day and night her seeds did spring, and so was her joy

Caring in labour established them and forever equal

What pride , swollen crest the unique of every gray hair

But just a click and it’s a labour in vain Ebony cries

Joy she sowed but pain we reap, bitter her grave will sleep

 

Cuddled but murderers and thieves, pampered but drunkers

Yes she cries, fruits not her gene but harvest

Wore her strength, sweat the soil not a beggar and fed

Thought the best, did her life for no other can better

Heaven help, motherly love cant be compromised give me just one

Help my fruits for it should be a reward to the my labour

 

 

In tears for my seedlings but with hope of a filth to despair

The strive and rage, the evil but one womb and same blood

Ebony cries wipe off her tears for its day and the night lay wait

Change a need, see love, want peace, feel the happiness

You are brothers, live like brothers for I am your mother

For as one, share as one, then you are one, make the world one
