My Children will do it differently



My Children Will Do it Differently.

Out of the ashes of Sahara desert

As they exhale and inhale over dinner

My children will do it Differently

Africa stands a aloof and low from the rest of the nation

My children will do it differently

Hunger became our neighbor

My children will do it differently

pouring our brothers blood became our pleasure

My children will do it differently

Politician became their weapon.

My children will do it differently

Africa ranks  low in economy , lowest in humanity

My children will do it differently

I see it coming

Pain is all we feel and grim is what we see

My children will do it differently

The flash of your father drilling freely in the nail river

I see a change

My children will do it differently

A new list of blessings and wishes to come

So in grief and weary do our heart bleed.

My children will do it differently

Yes Generations of people born and die.

events take their place.

But I SEE a CHANGE

My children will do it differently

I seen winds and waves of new generation

I have stood and watched them grow and glow

perfectly , correctly , Humanly, Economically, Wisely

OUR GENERATION WILL DO IT DIFFERENTLY.
