UNITED STATES OF AFRICA
By the River of the Niger, there we sat down
We enjoyed life before we were termed, clowns
We lived in harmony living in our own towns
We never knew sicknesses such as the syndrome, Downs
There we were when the ships came and had us raided
Took us away and had our freedom traded
Made us feel worthless, not knowing our grade
They said we were sinners; for our sins, we have paid
We loved our kings and cherished monarchy
But they made us live their own lives in democracy
Obviously, their decision was ostentatiously hazy
Forcing on us what we disliked, forgetting it was quite dicey
Europeanisation
Is not what we need in our nation
We abhor it greatly and that is our notion
For speaking out; putting into words, our emotion
We are peace lovers; we want peace in Africa
Let’s get united to create our own USA
Which is an acronym for United States of Africa
This has been preached by men with initials from Z up to A
