Once .
. .
My eyes saw
what they refused to believe
I waited
like the long travelled Saharan camel
Thirsty and
thirsting. . .
I longed and
panted like the deer
For waters
of clean origin
Once. . .
My eyes saw
what they refused to believe
The human
sacrifice to the gods,
The
sacrifice of an osu
Blood must
be spilt!
The land
must drink
Once . . .
My eyes saw
what they refused to believe
The dotted
leopard playing with a lamb
The spotted
cheetah eating grass
Africa must
remain Africa
The birth of
all mankind
Once . .
My eyes saw
what they refused to believe
The sugar
coated skin of my queen
Beautiful as
the palm tree
She I saw
And my eyes
refused to believe
