Analysis of Afrocentric Telepathy of Life.
Brought up by disillusioned
parents,no future beyond
the barb wires of slavery
impoverished,told to study
hard yet no future,getting
food to eat so bleak.
Life with all promises fails
at death.Africans unite and
stamp out slavery chains,give
us this day our dail bread
has given us thorns rather
than hope,i wake i see loans
coming yet no help is seen.
We have a problem, we are told
that we need change. I see life
full of goodies yet we die. What
is the purpose of life why are
we here.Where do we go from here?
Save me the affiance. Foundations
we desire are built on falsehood.
Save Africa save our purpose
save us,save me. We must be
heard.
