Help me see
the
truth
life
or death
for
you
Woman
of Africa
Africa
kills men
of
no hope
Children
of the future
are
scorned by killing
and
raping of women
and
the land
and
sorrow
that
will not rest
That
I cannot find
Help
me find peace
Not
just a UN word
Or
promises of life and love
that
do not exist
But
exist I do
Do
you know
What
it is like
to
walk alone
in
a world of disease and shame
To
the woman who bore me
Me
the bastard of lust and AIDS
Four
letter words
That
seek revenge
for
my lusting mother
The
woman of Africa
