Engraved in Eulogy
Song for Patrice Lumumba
24.02.2011
They tortured his body
Cut it up in pieces.
Dissolved it in acid
Then burnt the rest.
Tried to humiliate him
To obliterate him
But Lumumba lives on and on.
In our thoughts
And in this song
Patrice Lumumba still steps along...
I hear you talking of African Icons
Assembling the African Pantheon.
Don't forget to cite the Congo Man
For we must always speak of him.
Tried to humiliate him
To obliterate him
But Lumumba lives on and on.
In our thoughts
And in this song
Patrice Lumumbas' vision will prolong.
Pan- African Statesman
Pride of the Congo.
Through the Saga of Final Savagery
We engrave his name in eulogy.
