Black Persecution
Africa Stripped And Deprived
Africa Destroyed And Looted
They Put You In Darkness,
They Put You In Trauma,
And Melancholy,
They Plunged Your Children
In Dungeons Of Poverty
And Death
Africa You Became
The Worst Tragedy
Aids They Used You,
Your Slaughter Is Great!
Africa Your Adversary
Used Neo deception
To Persecute,
To Steer Xenophobia,
To Obliterate,
To Plunder,
The Black Race To Ruins

About this poem
The term third world is synonymous to Africa! She is the real expression of darkness, corruption and impunity. Africa lag behind other continents, Eventhough, her wealth and resources was looted and plundered by their slave masters. IMF and World Bank are neo colonialist tools used to subdue the black continent.
