Finally…

On 2002 February,

God did sojourn

Angola

To deliver Savamibi

From himself.

In the process,

Issued ultimatum

To all Dictators

"Never again

Engage the continent

In wanton war."

Come on my people,

Let us dance

With our ancestors’ spirit,

Beating the drum

From north to south,

From west to east

Singing hallelujah

Finally

God has returned

To Africa.

Dedicated to all Angolans who have suffered from the senseless war by Jonas Savimbi.
