MOTHER IS CALLING


Mother is calling
Calling her children
Calling for them to come home;


Her children are missing
Missing their mother
Missing and yearning for home;


Her children were taken
Taken from mother
Taken to places unknown;


Her children were beaten
Beaten by strangers
Beaten so they will not roam;


They hear drums pounding
Pounding like heartbeats
Pounding to lead them home;


Centuries later
Her children are coming
Her children are coming back home;


Back home to Mother
Motherland Africa
Back to their rightful thrown.
