Cry not..
Cry not, brilliant black baby
Heave no silent sighs
The beautiful bright future you desire
Is glittering in the past
Mad vampires on rampage
Draped in human blood
Besieging this traumatised land
Fighting, ranting
With passionate determination to create a
future
A future for you, brilliant black baby
A future hovering in the belly of the
past
This land has strange beings
Strange minds fill the topmost hole
Brilliant black boy,
These bleeding hearts you see
These weary voices you hear
These sunken eyes you behold
Will be taken by the soft wind
Into a deep dug dump-site
Rising, stinking through the air
Thanks to the hungry vampires
The hopeful future flees fast
Into a far-distant past behind three
generations
For no amount of blood
Flowing like flood
In their bellies
Is enough to quench the blazing hunger
Of these ever-blood-thir sty beings
So brilliant black baby
Born into poor Africa land
Beware of the enraged demons in angelic
smiles
That have created a bright future behind
you
