Tomorrow Africa by Mankind Olawale Oyewumi

Tomorrow Africa

Our own Africa
Like others
I click thy uniqueness Africa
And every of thy positive native
Tenets I nurture till thy printable
Structure shall sail thy
Relatives, friends and loyalists
Above the burdens and havocs
Of Ruiners' responsibility
And destroyers' decency

From tyranny
Thy provenance paved thy present
In it thy agents conceived
And evolved thy constituents
But thy moral children
Oh Africa
Forbid thy extinction
In maiming mutilation
And numberless annihilation
And massive miseries

Today social distress
Guards thy nest with inferno
Opprobrium postulates principles
Thou should adopt and adapt
To for better bitterness
In this peerless
Pains Darling Africa

Even as prognosis
Discards thy sick status
Our faith and work
Shall suppress thy death
Shall resolve thy miseries
Shall desolve thy crises

Heroic Africa
Resourceful Africa
Thy doom shall reset to boom
And boom decimate its doom

No counterpart
Dictates thy deeds
Unless in collaborative
Trade for thy vision
And no child forfeits thy mission
With affective air of fake redemption

When coming moments
Demand new songs
From Wale's poetic idealism
The weighty substance
Of tommorow Africa
Shall alter my tone.

Dear SAMAFORM by Mankind Olawale Oyewumi

Dear SAMAFORM

Out of His mercy
Who formed me
I formed thee to
Have the world reformed
By the power of providence
I proffered the path
That thy destiny takes
Tomorrow
Forever
For the cute confederation
Of a world wildly willed for love
My precious samaformism
Which my mortal finitude
Nurses conforms not with
The selfhood of acts
That survive on evil
In relentless topple
Of demonic destroyables
That glory in the universe
Of terror and trauma
Thy goal is to gaol
The achievements
Of the devil's chiefs
And while you for
Justice cater from
Limited parentage
And serial merits
The juice in the blood
Of the slaughtered fauxpas
Shall not in conspiracy
Camp thy conscience
Or in ambitious despiracy
Weaken thy strength

SAMAFORM
Thou shall deliver the
Race of man from the
Flowing flood of destructive
Dystopia which incapacitates
Their words and decapitates
Their ways
With it their parental
Ledger is of ethical
Motherhood retrenched
Moral is the soul of hereafter
Justice the engine of its journey
Thy duty still is making decency
The belonging of the world
And fairness the jewel of its end
You hold the key to free
Their feelings
Liberate their thoughts
And reform their practices
From the patronage of prejudices
Which way-lay their fulfillment
And welcome their miseries
Based on the infinite truth
That our species is one
Bribery is below thy honor
Derailment unworthy
Of thy avocation
Whether featured or fanned
Out by the directory of the world
Thy task is to
Make the world
Its only hope thou
Clearly constitute
Do not fail

Oh SAMAFORM {!}
God always thy power
Samaforism forever they propeller
Our Directorates provide the how
When the world's woes
Humiliate the huge scale
Of the devils manifestoes
Samaformism shall sail
On the virulent waters
Of smooth reforms
And the major meaning
Of creation shall maim
The twin misanthropies
Of squandered ages
Oh SAMAFORM {!}
This thy proper
Place points!?
