The Ghosts In Africa

Closer the sound echoes through my heart. Everything suddenly started to swell and slowly fall apart. Dreams were nothing as they once were. Africa was the only place I knew. We all danced around the fire, under the night sky blue. We all gave our souls to the music and fire to redeem our curse that lies asleep, and rests. Peace was made because of me, and those I'm around. They took me in when no one else would they made me understand the powers of their land. They have cured all my pains, and nightmare streams. I would dance with the tigers and bears, while I heard the screams. They did not understand English But they learned well, I wanted to teach them the ways of America, and they tough me the ways of hell. I spoke truth, and they always knew when I lied they would hang men by their nipples to be wedded to a bride. The oceans spoke words of wisdom and cares. I made a wish to the garden of life and tossed my passport a side. I have found a place where its safe from America, and a place ill never have to hide. A place of no war, and no pain no cheating men, and no insane moments. A free lifestyle where nothing Is sad the only thing we call sad is when we die But even after our lifeless body dies are soul drifts away and stays in Africa forever this day.
