HEARTS OF DARKNESS.



I'm bored with bloody Africa
and the same pictures on the screen
those images flashed around the world
are pictures we've all seen
It seems their politicians
whoever they may be ?
are claiming yet more aid to avoid the pain
of a global tragedy

I'm bored with bloody Africa
and their wars that never cease
the killing, crying, raping, dying
of a people on their knees
and all their murderous warlords
whoever they may be ?
who'd claim the right to kill to cure the ill
of those who'd chose democracy.

I'm bored with bloody Africa
and the Aids virus rampant there
whose governments won't endorse contraception
to look out for their people's welfare
and all those politicians who stayed silent
who allowed this insanity
must live in shame and must take the blame
for a generation born with H.I V.

I'm bored with bloody Africa
and their despots who live like kings
who plunder aid given for their people's plight
which they spend on other things
but all their blood spattered dictatorships
wherever they may be
will be found guilty of more than genocide
when judged by humanity.

I'm bored with bloody Africa
the show went on far too long
A whole continent still in bondage
which fate their governments still prolong
and you might almost call it slavery
should you be of the mind ?
It seems so strange some things don't change
this world can be so unkind.
