where the tall was forced to bow.
The earth spins and money rolls -
the ungodly tormented good souls.
In homeland - their rights denied,
slaughtered men and their pride.
For food the dark people toils
and the white took away the spoils.
Drove them to a point of no return,
humans and homes put down to burn.
The oppressed didn't find a way -
so bore pain to live another day.
Now deep mines, once vacant plains,
where diamond and gold now reigns.
Africa and its dark long coast,
played the role of a devil's host.
Turned into iron hearts of gold
then made blind profits manifold.
Straining of muscles and its tear,
got drowned in merriment and cheer.
They who got the gems and stones,
turned deaf to cries and moans.
Wars, battles, strifes never end -
the peacekeepers thus rules bend.
They who came with humane task,
was found hiding in cape and mask.
