Mama Africa's Cry has reached the Almighty.



I will blow the whistle loud enough,
I will gather all my siblings together,
I will gather them from all corners that there is,
I will not leave even one behind,
I will gather the daughters and the sons,
In front of Mama Africa's eyes I will rally them all,
I will show them Mama's tears in broad day light.

The tears of her sorrow and the deep pain,
The tears of her past and present wounds,
The tears of her innocent children's crying blood,
The tears of her poor children's oppression,
The tears of her longtime unheard cry,
In front of Mama Africa's eyes I will rally them all,
I will show them Mama's tears in broad day light.

The tears that flow like a river in depth and width,
The tears whose groans cry loud and clear to all ears,
The tears that reflect our true image on their face,
The tears that will move our cold uncharged hearts,
The tears that will draws compassion tears from us,
In front of Mama Africa's eyes I will rally them all,
I will show them Mama's tears in broad day light.

The tears will tell the true story and history,
The tears like a mirror will reflect all the characters in us,
The tears will remind us we are all one by birth and in blood,
The tears will make the siblings repent of their sins,
The tears will unchain hearts and hands into action, 
In front of Mama Africa's eyes I will rally them,
I will show them Mama's tears in broad day light.

In front of the tears we will know it all,
In front of the tears we will forgive and be forgiven,
In front of the tears we will be reconciled again,
In front of the tears we will all learn the lesson,
In front of the tears we will be renewed by and in love,
In front of Mama Africa's eyes I will rally them,
I will show them Mama's tears in broad day light.

Indeed Mama's tears are calling in deep pain,
Indeed Mama' Africa's cry has reached the Almighty,
Indeed Mama's tears can no longer be ignored,
May we all in true love rally before the tears and start a new,
Mama's tears will only be wiped by love truth and justice,
In front of Mama Africa's eyes I will rally them,
I will show them Mama's tears in broad day light.

"Our Africa's story will not change by being written by different writers but till we change the nature and life of the characters in the story the authors will continue writing the same script only in different ways." Newton JG.

Africa is my homeland and I believe and know the cry for justice, truth and love is sincere and urgent. The Almighty God has heard her cry and he is raising a people who will in His love show his love and compassion to the many who are physically, emotionally, spiritually and socially tormented day by day by the evils within and without her boundaries. A people who will love the oppressed with their hearts, and with their actions. It is time to wipe Mama Africa's tears.

The Scripture says in 1 John 4:7-11"The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray.Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. 10 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. 11 If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen."
