Poor pitch of play
Disappointing players/teams
Officiating;Total show of shame
Disgraceful Tournament Organization.
………………………………
Everything is now a shadow of itself
No longer holding the place of pride
The centre no longer holds;things falling
apart even from scratch
Africa,Oh Africa!
Who will save Africa from Africans?
The glory keeps fading
The founding fathers,the founding heroes
keep lamenting
Even in their abode of final rest
Africa,Oh Africa!
Shaking present;Blinking future
Sit tight attitude,corruption,dim vision,blur
future,war;
Are these our banes;fate or choice?
Africa,Oh Africa!
Who will save Africa from Africans?
