for the love of Africa:
stop the genocides
stop the bombs
stop the deportations
stop the interferences
stop the exploitation
stop the anti-Blackness
stop the settler colonialism
stop all the things to be stopped
stop stalling and staying passive
stop the erasure and minimizing
stop the waiting for proof of plights
stop your ignorance and indifference
stop your romanticization
stop your savior complex
for the love of Africa
stop what is oppressive
for the love of Africa
start all that brings
warmth and full bellies
justice and safety
for the love of Africa.

africa is a country
with flag independence
granted by looters and shooters.
africa is a country
where leaders and land
are sold and bought.
africa is a country
with minerals and oil
and youth hungry for life.
africa is a country
cut with a blade,
belittled, and blamed.
africa is a country
you should be afraid of
or claim, capture, control.
africa is a country
at war with war
and itself.
