African Dawn

I woke up in the middle of dawn to sing and dance and curse at the African continent

For I couldn’t take no more of the struggling and suffering of my fellow country-men

For I couldn’t stand no longer to watch my kind drown dead in HIV, hunger and poverty

Sorrow and pain

Pain with no gain

Africa I mourn

African dawn

For darkness has now come with peace

And a feeling of ease,

I go down on my knees to say a prayer,

And hope for better,

For Africa is my continent

For in Africa I have confidence

    Sounds realistic your evaluation. It is good to see that you follow up about these important african questions. But sometimes I have the impression that it is nonsense to think about it. The contientn of Africa is somehow gone from our mindes and from television. There seems to be only killing and frustrations in a large range of African areas. So why to look at this? … Your are right: Better to look at it than to leave African questions alone. Go on please!.
