africa

oh africa
you who has awaited for an outsider's approval
to celebrate your worth,
when you stopped breathing
you allowed your seeds to go
without any directions,
they hid themselves behind bushes
runnning away from those who claim
to fight for the  day you will be left alone
to fend for your own children,
children who looking  for something
not many could provide .

WHERE were you ?
when a young boy was initiated into a murderer
for your independence
you deserted you people
in their time of need.

so independence came .......,
with her friend corruption ,
who was sold to the hungry
by  your perpetraters
who many thought we were fighting
but encouraging to thinks of us
as barbaric
you gave them an excuse to stand on podiums
and take no responsibility for dehumanizing
your people.
 
your curiousity welcomed them 
and they  invaded your sanctuary
and took away with them 
the one thing that proves us 
to be of the same mother,
our humility .

now you have be patient 
before your young ones come back 
to you ,
acknowledge the wrongs of past 
and they will acknowledge the fact 
that  their are yours.
