THE SLOGANS
Go green Africa, go green, go green
Work hard Africa, work hard to gain
Life is so simple, Africa is going green
But the draught! Can I explain?
Sweet Africa sweet, the slogans on the boards
The men on the front, writings on the boards
Life is so sweet, so simple in Africa
On the grave she stumbled
With cold she trembled
Cheeks wetted
By the lines
Dry was her voice
Tattered her rags
Sleepless nights 
Only did she
Grass wreath on grave
Nothing more 
Comforted by
Lonely nights, 
All the days
Dry days 
Like dried yellow leaves 
Nobody to water her
Cries go unanswered
Ferocious chameleons!
Her loved…!
Till next life 
Farewell!
Are gone
Forever nowhere to see
Like fallen comets to sky
Farewell 
Till next life
Worst chameleons
With yes questions
Their colour among us now
No identity
In this world of yes
Worst chameleons
Sweet candy, arms
Soda, arms
Her loved...!
Till next life
Farewell
Mouth mimes
Hands around chest
Calloused
A bag of collected remnants
Happy life was gone
Sadness came
Death of the loved
Like death of the roots to leaves!
No water for food
Photosynthesis
The harsh chameleons
With our colour now!
