AFRICA UNITED

As we sit and watch the Bald Eagle
…wanting to swallow the Beaver in a power struggle
And know the Giant Panda
…badly wants to add the Taiwan Blue Magpie in ways including gangsta
While the Eurasian Brown Bear
…fights and shoots and bombs the Nightingale who fights back in fear
You must know it is time

II
It is time to hold hands to build
To build our integrity and strong shield
To help take back our voices
…gagged into stolen choices
It is time

III
It is time to trade within our territories
In order to build for our resources appropriate factories
To stand above the midgets who want us suppressed

IV
It is time
It is time for many a shed blood to be impressed
Watching us fight to lead
Feed as thieves and brutes plead
Love us in order to send back to oppressors, their oppression
It is time

V
So cut out the tongues of deceit
And listen to loyalty to help defeat
Forces which give crumbs to steal lump sums
For we rightfully own our wealth and are considered dumb
For continuing to be manipulated by foreign thumbs
It is time

VI
It is time
It is time to flourish within our rhyme
To own each and every one of our dimes
To earn back our respect to stop the humanity crime
To bring our world to a state so sublime
In order to own our ancestral pride
Which we have been forced to hide

VII
It is time
It is time to rise above all
To stand from the fall
For we have always been the best human pearls
Hiding in our rough shells
Mysterious and regal
Beings God consider so high and topmost legal
That’s why we have been given better everything
In a world every other is looking for something
So rise, work together and shine, for it is time,
Time to stand from the low
…and GROW!
