If Africa Was Gay

IF AFRICA WAS GAY

Religion on crutches
Rainbow flagged churches
“I pronounce you man and man
Forever to live woman and woman”
The scripture revised
Apostasy undisguised
Men to men, women to women
Streets ambushed by sexual villain

Has human right swallowed culture,
And changed verses in the scripture?
Your deeds shame our culture and defect the scriptures
Your sour mixture you give to spiritual vultures
Who flock at the scent of dead teachings
And feast on decayed doctrines
Haven’t you read, were you not told?
About the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah
Wasn’t it decreed and foretold?
Doesn’t their destruction make you cower?

Selfish legislators, what will you tell your wife?
When you sponsor bills that lead to strife
You who shout aye, have you gay mate?
What becomes of the girls you plunder by eight?
On the Bible and Koran you placed your hand
And swore to serve your fatherland
Now against Africa you fight
To gain recognition of whites
Please visit history before derailment
White pills doesn’t cure black ailment

If Africa was gay
And men kissed in the bay
Obasanjo would be married to Mugabe
And Obama adopted in Zimbabwe
What would become of Benin City?
Would Cairo be history?
Animals would rule the earth
When women no more give birth
If Africa was gay
Lord for my soul I pray

Send me home
On Enoch’s blood I plead
On Africa’s tomb
Bury me where culture bleeds
Take me away
Before remnant of Sodom and Gomorrah’s fire
Make its way
And our sins backfire
Send me home, send me home
Erase my name from Africa’s tome
