Africa: Separation

Gondwana

Born of Pangaea

When separation first started

Like a unicell dividing

 

Africa

Spilt from India

And from America parted

Cut adrift and subsiding

 

Birthplace

Of all humankind

Whose seed has been scattered

Far from the Ma tree

 

Darkspace

That light left behind

From progress that mattered

In the quest to be free

 

Battleground

Of tribe against tribe

Whose rivers of tears

Still bloodstain the sand

 

Whispersound

Of fate’s changing tide

As hope’s rising years

Unify this great land
