The peak of Ducor Hill, I stand; A nation full of prosperity, I see. On top of Mount Nimba, I stand; A nation of great people, I see. Further as I seek, Verily; a nation of possibilities, I see. Last night when I dreamt, A nation full of greatness; I see. Liberia, indeed a nation of peace. In the sky when I looked, A nation above all nations; I see. As I seek to see; I see: A nation of eternal harmony and stability; A nation with abundant natural resources; A nation with abundant human resource. Finally; a nation full of light; I see. Surely; a new Liberia I envision.

**New Liberia**
Dear Blanc, For too long we hath suffered, For too long we are contented with slavery, For too long we seek quench of freedom; For total emancipation is our need. Indeed we thirst for liberation, For our resources ye exploite; Our young girls ye assault. Did you really manumitted our ancestors? Exactly what my heart ask my mind always. Could you now let us go?

Letter To The Imperial
Continuity we embrace not, For change; we voted. Expectations raised to the sky, Hoping tears dry off our eyes; Ought heaven exists on earth, With our ablaze fire alter ice. Our illnesses; we hunt for immune, Our poorness; Messiah we seek to inoculate. With idle promises; ye woo us. Thought struggle has ended; In the cause of all. For our problems; Ye are cognizant. Bad governance, ye feed us; Expectations pull beneath the dust; As animals, ye treat us; Our aspirations ye brutal. ©Toure

Africa's Masses
For so long she has cried; Sorrowful sorrows all she had. All her wishes was a child; For barrenness then her proud. Now it came to pass: Joyfully happy on childbed, When we hear a baby cry. To the world, it brings joy; To its mom, it brings proud. Happy with her new toy; With care, she handles; And eternal harmony, rekindles. Sharing the tears of joy; With weeping joy restore. Loudly, dwellers sang. Singing the song of joy; Thematically arrange verse: "Bobo Napo, Bo;  Bobo Napo, Bo".

Joy; Not Weep
Judges instead; Georges they have. Equal rights and justice, Yet injustices ruined the day; For justices we need to pay. Justice: An overflow for the wealthy, A hopeless wish for the poor; For the affluent, an everlasting quench; Eternal hunger for the poor. Africa: No money, justice is buried; No status, freedom is lavished. Equality, abomination for the poor; Justice, everlasting quench for the rich. Blindfolded by: "Let justice be done to all"; Yet justice is done to some. Democracy or Oligarchy, Elitism or Democracy; Answer yet to come. To all, let justice be done Thy prevail justice not, Beneath the beneath; Our fate till eternity.

Hopeless Wish
Since rock of ages, Our roots you slay; Treating us like slaves. Is it for our race, We hath been lace? Our color thy trace, Grouping us in a place; A place of discomfort. Seeking for peace, Hiding our beautiful faces; For we have not a space. Going everyday wave, Ought we there have; The vigour to save. O ye people of black race! Weep not of the past, For one day we will be grace; And this adversity will be dave.

My Race
When my stomach growls; Body,        Mind,                & Soul grumble. With hunger; my body yawn, As my stomach growls. To the ear; salutation my lips send. To the neck; warm hug my cheeks give. Pandiculation conquers my soul; Artery convey no blood. When my stomach growls, Conscious, thoughts & emotions; My worst taboos. When my stomach growls, My body; woo malfunction.

Growl Stomach
In a crazy world, here we liveth; My thirst thy quenched. Mommy I called you; Assurance thy giveth me, Verily, all shall be well. Above all, ye said I shall rise; Burden you carry; no more. How I wish, I make thy proud; From the slum, soon I will take you. Smile; ye must, Your sorrows, I will halt; Soon your sorrows will turn joy, And your cry turn smile. For eternity, never would they last.

Mommy Must Smile
People of one clan, Ought to harass one kind; From one bloodline. Looting ones motherland. Liberty scarce on its land; Vanished by choas and conflicts. Segregation conquers its people. O ye Mama Africa! Geet you are, And geet you must. O people of virtue! Oneness we are, And oneness we must. We ought not quarrel, For we are one family. With the heart smiling, Laying under one duvet; Yields golden success.

One Africa
Here thy arrive; For so long we have await thee. Here comes a new moon: A moon of bright light; A moon of redeemer. Here cometh a new month: A month of serenity, Bringing joy unto ye heart; A month of multiplications, Where everything doubles; An era of jubilations, Thy heart accept no trouble. Blessed be thy name. Shutdown the doors of the hell, Opened the door of the heaven; And open the windows of harmony. For peace is unto thy name.
