we have much healing to do Afrika

<p>we do<br>
i would address the virus that has starved you<br>
if i could redact what they have done to you<br>
i would<br>
they see wood!<br>
not rubber bands or cement!
not a rash of boredoms!
not a liar!
true virtue!
not vines!<br>
not singing trees!<br>
not silence!<br>
in deepest congress!<br>
of the tsutsis<br>
jump!</p>
<p>not zebras amongst waves of bliss!<br>
not deepest heart!<br>
not tryst</p>
<p>i would where they once saw<br>
an arrogant tsetsx<br>
called it the fly of ointment</p>
<p>i would sing you a lullaby!<br>
if it would make hunger rest<br>
i will not abandon you ever!<br>
that is my solemn want</p>
that wands of cups would rest
<p>and the crests of the Eves rise amongst the grass once again</p>
<p>they let loose on you death<br>
let your joy turn against them<br>
please!<br>
i need you to know how few you are</p>
<p>that are above judgement <br>
that come from near and far</p>
<p>we will not rejoice in your capture any longer<br>
we know you are the mother, the choice, the farmer</p>
<p>not the harmer of little ones<br>
not no longer<br>
;as it was before we took you</p>
<p>You Lift Me Up Afrika!<br>
with the power of your tune!<br>
with your wind!<br>
as it was before we took you!</p>
<p>might might come without dynamite yet!<br>
not A Solemn thatch of Prayer!<br>
not the world's manger<br>
much stronger than that!</p>
<p>YAY!<br>
free fela<br>
yay!</p>
<p>hey man, least i'm trying<br>
YAY! </p>
<p>i'm not kidding <br>
I will not fall until the spell over you has been cast <br>
For Freedom Everlasting! </p>
<p>last bastion of fear comes so nearly, men <br>
made your women work for too long, you have. No? Tell me No!<br> I would break your backs so you can see who is weak,  and who is strong <br>
