MASK OF AFRICA
- by Bronwyn Blom
Freedom move aside and do make way
As Africa stumbles and falls away
Hard work, blood, sweat and tears
All for nothing as the end draws near
What is mine is yours and yours stay the same
"Caring" and "trust" is all just a big game
Spending our money and dodging their fate
It's a language they speak and refuse to translate
Apartheid lives on with a new identity crowned
It's called BEE and new victims they have found
Casting a role is easier said than done
Through their veins "honesty" must run
Promises of peace echo through the land
What a colourful picture - just rain and sand
Violence is the way or so they've been told
To get what they want and have a firm hold
How long until you face what's going on?
Do you really believe that there's nothing wrong?
Fool the eyes to cause no disruption
Come and show us your talents of
murder and corruption
