Analysis of Sierra-leone by Abayomi Habib
I cry for sierra-eone in my lonely days,
How many years will I be famished of war memories,
when all hope is lost,
And I become a shadow of war,
As I dance with the devils of genocide,
who made me a fraternal hero,
How will I dance of the love of war circle,
kill everybody and send the people to the grave-yard,
As I dance to the power of uniting the country,
After many years of war memories,
who made me a diary of blood in my hands,
How many years will I dance to the powers of war-lords,
while dancing to the ghost of the night,
keep the country as a ghost nation,
Welcome to peace in Sierra-leone
