• AFRICA FEED THY HERO! BY TUNJI OFFEYI
• Little kids, yet big man belly
  Medical people call it kwashiorkor,
  Their mothers love them, their leaders
  care less about them.

  Their heads like a ball of water melon sits
  comfortably on their neck which is
  just like a pupil’s arithmetic ruler, did
  they sin against the gods? No I don’t
  think so since the gods cant talk.
  Yes I know ,yes I know the rich don’t
  Reach out in this part of the globe
  The up town people look down on the
  Down town trodden in the down town,
  But I feel for the rich, because these
  Unkept unsung little heroes are the
  Tomorrow’s pride of the black continent
  If black is truly beautiful? Black leaders
  must feed our black toddlers today
  so they could mount wings with white
  brothers on the mountain top, else their
  will be fire on the mountain if they fail to
  fire their dreams.

  Black rulers think about them, if only you
  Can let them live, let them live, just let them
  Live ,let them live.
