HALF A NIGHT IN AFRICA
Krack krack kpoom!
Krack krack kpoom!

Not a sound of drums
But of guns and booms

Now plays and dances
Masquerades in the dark forest

Like a wind scattering
The cloud's gathering

The cloud once darken
The day before Night set in

And fastened the Forest's trees like heavenly twin
Before your invasion stole our win

Dear Madam!
There's silence here before your alarm

And peace built Hut in this coffin
Shovels respected time before the grave. Queen

Lorded Kings before on mat
It wasn't these businesses of Dog's and Cat's

My Forest, still I long!
Where my reality belong (s)

Eternally, I cry!
As long as my eyes embrace no longer night to lie

Because in my Forest
Even the animals never contest (ed)

Dawn never marked time for night
Until you came dear Madam knight

Your knives has butchered my Forest
Your Holiness defiles my bed rest

Your wisdoms has darken my heart
Your eyes blackened my skin. That

Please your soul undercover
Is the murderer of the world over

When shall we recover
From the high fever?
