Big Mama Africa
Poor Mama Africa,
Madiba has gone.
Remember his dream
& move forward, as one.
Don't let his dream
be put down & forgotten;
by the schemes of the greedy,
the rogues & the rotten.
Dear, big Mama Africa,
your beautiful indeed
and rich enough to give your children,
all that they need.
So why is there such poverty,
starvation and despair?
There's wealth enough to go around,
if everyone would share.
But those who can, horde riches,
far more than they need.
Denying their own people,
with selfishness & greed.
You must get together
and speak, with one voice.
Across the land, shout your demand;
unite and then rejoice.
