WHEN AFRICA MET EUROPE

A building was built

people lived there

talked in a certain way

believed in certain things

time traveled

another building was built

the people

of the old building

met the people

of the new building

"wow their building is beautiful than ours"

"how can we be like you?"

They learnt from the new building

their ways had changed

their belief changed

when Africa met Europe

everything changed

we say, Africans did not steal

before Europeans came

how true is that?

there was peace

before Europeans came

how true is that?

we would have been better

how true is that?

we will never know

we can only imagine

because what was meant to be has been

It is history

and we can keep dwelling in the past

or work in the present time

to dictate what his story

will tell of us

of this time.

Human hands Wanna blame God Better change your plans Who created slaves? Humans again So why blame the witness for pointing out the guilty MAN And I’m just doing what I can to love So don’t accuse me Because I don’t fit in like the Juice’s gloves I’ve already done my choosing of the most lucid drugs Where that get me? In a noose with hugs I’ve done had my fair share of flesh I never found a heart while clinging to their b...

Africa

We were saved, we were rescued, By no other but us. We fought, we won, What gave us strength our love , our blood. We lived for them, but now for us We toiled, we worked. Like machines of the time, And no one thought we needed repair. We hoped, we saw, a time with God Where there is no work Heaven was our home, our hope of the time When we return to the dust I love us, we are strong United by blood and a sane mind To build our home Africa Make it like heaven. ©Anthony Amanso
