I Know Nothing About France

I know nothing about France

I know only of what I have heard

I only heard rumours

I heard rumours

That France

Was a ruthless coloniser of Africa

I know nothing about France

Only one sip of French tea

Made me believe

That it is true
That the French

Have great taste

I know nothing about the French

I only know of exotic French-Algerians

I know of Zidane’s magnificent boot

I know of Cecile’s spectacular grace

I know of her passion for God

I know of her fire to spread God’s love

I know of the miracles that follow her

I know of the message of God

That sits restless at the tip of her tongue

Tongues like fire

Are waiting

To baptise masses with the Spirit

I know that when she steps back into France

Heaven steps in with her

The earth with shake

Demons will flee

When she steps in France

France will be colonised by heaven

I know that when they see her

They will know that

She

Is not

The same

The power of resurrection

Is at work within her

There is power in her right hand

She will raise her right hand

Like Moses raised his stick

Whenever a miracle had to happen

Miracles will happen

When she lifts her hands to heaven

She will be called

Miracle woman
