The Black Gold
by Salifu Ablie Jallow
(Wellingara, The Gambia)
Powerless man solely depending on his intellectual mind Claiming rulers of the earth so they are known to be mankind Created so humble a nature not that they are meant to stay behind But to properly use the endowed wisdom to lead the creation line So please take what is yours and give me what is rightfully mine The Black Gold must have to glitter under the bright sunshine His mighty eloquence challenges intelligence Cautiously thinking in the midst of negligence Protecting his own kinds from this pestilence Believing in something that one and all are feeling Divine love is life's only pure and true meaning Wrap your heart with it if you want to be winning Else you loose and would be balefully sinning On the lands of love descends this blessing from above Keeping the souls of her population as humble as a dove Giving and receiving knowing the best life is living in love And love life is for us to learn to care and share the love Costing nothing and worth more than everything The power of creation and chosen way of inspiring Acknowledging to the fullest the blessings of the King Songs of thanks and praises thou shall be singing In the Name of the God of gods will be the rejoicing Proud of thy King the King of all kings God and Creator of the Black Gold Spiritually cometh to this world in the cloth of blood The offspring of the spirit of the moulded black mud Ordained to teach and preach the Divine Word of God But all that most of thee want is to get the Black Gold Because thy heart desire is to be someone big and bold Thee compel to make thy own the strong to have hold But know for thee never shall all 'tis be under one fold For it's truly revealed clearly and has already been told
