Black woman of Africa,

Women of the jungle fields,

Now you cry, woman, now you lament 

That your child is lost.

That the fire of life is no longer in him

That now he is stone dead to you,

You who endured for him the pain of delivery 

And the toil of care and growth.

But you forget woman,

That when he was a baby

You refused him your breast,

You fed him with powdered milk

And gave him sugar crystals

Instead of the wild honey you've always known

Faked food he ate

And your heart glowed

To his artificial smile,

And when the dirty you fed him

Finally dropped out of his anus

After destroying his inside,

You collected the feaces with a song

And held the little bundle. burning hot with life,

And out you went to throw it

Into the cold depths

Of the toilet bowl

And now your child suffers;

He suffers death for the murder you committed.

So you must weep and suffer with him. 

Poor woman of Africa.
