AL-MUSTAPHA MUST NOT DIE

By Keni Saint George

From the howling winds of the Hebrides
To the icey lakes of Blair Atoll
From the dark Moors of York
To the Sandy Stones of Penzance
Even the Irish meadows Sigh
Al Mustapha will not die

From the plains of Mont
To the Hot Springs of Louisiana
From the Icebergs of Alaska
To the cool waters of Lake Superior
Even the Polar Bears sigh
Al Mustapha will not die

From the straights of Maracaibo
To the Chilean Horn of Terra Del Fuego
From the Isle of Grand Bahama
To St. Vincent and the Granadines
Even the Flamingoes sigh
Al Mustapha will not die.

From Rostov, Beijing and Qiqihar
To Nguru, Anambra and Bayelsa
From the Parched stones of Al Fayoun
To Ankara, Kabul and Kazakhstan
Even the Falcons sigh
Al Mustapha will not die

Al Mustapha will not die
And so say all of us
And so toll the bells of Tinubu and Bellarus
