THE FREEDOM FIGHTERS OF AFRICA
who, in order to give
the African child hope
future
and life
must deny their own lives.

See the black maiden
clothed in a black veil
of the black Africa.
And see how
she emerges in light
uncovering her glamour
as she walks freely
on the fields
that abound with wealth
the pearls, and
the minerals of Africa.

But see who comes
behind the bush, stalking.
I fear that someone
is going to rape
the pretby maiden
look!
After which, because of the sin
the fields under her feet
will yield only tears
of blood.

Has this home no one else
but eunuchs?
