Sons and daughters of Africa Arise!
We were brutally assaulted on the slave ship on the guard of alien ownership.
Arise for your misleaders sold you out for wine.
Arise Youth of Africa Arise!
We were forcefully captured and sold on a price Arise!
Arise! How can such vampires who sucked us still indoctrinate us with Christ.
Arise, Arise, Arise!
Our future is on a bleak whilst our misleaders continue to dine in intoxication with our evil lordships in whoreship.
Arise Sons and daughters of ancient days of old.
Arise and ask questions of our stolen scrolls and gold.
Arise gallant men of wisdom Arise!
Arise Our looters are unfazed by the despondent sitting with our hands which remains fold Arise!
We are losing it Arise!
Our beautiful lands,
Our sacred forests, and
Our spiritual embodiments are being washed from the rich of our land which we never find.
Arise for our water bodies are being polluted by the blood of our hungry young men and women devoured by the desire of shared greed.
Arise! For our beautiful virgin lands are being depleted by promiscuous encroachers of our sweat Arise.
Where are the men of dignity?
Arise for we have lost our potency to be called men of pride for we are being sold on a cheaper price with our birth rights.
Arise and fight for what our forefathers sacrificed and toiled of which we now flirt.
The times of revolution is now.
We can’t continue to be uncircumcised in corruption.
We cannot continue to live on the guise of tramadol induced youth who have lost his sense of direction.
I’m ashamed to be called an African Youth.
We can’t continue to be partakers of our own misfortune.
I pledge in earnest to support youth development.
God bless us all.
Arise!
