Perfect African Story by afroxyz: 9:51am On Nov 27, 2012 |
In the paint of gloom With the brush strokes of doom With a face of crime And shoes hasty to strife. You paint a portrait of me, With no mouth to speak. I carry a bag of rituals To appease the gods of cannibals. I cover my unclothedness, With ethnic garments I bear the eye of the mystics, And the voice of a tribalist I am unrefined, That why I need a hand You accuse in your books, I look, bemused. To build my toilets, And till my lands I depend on aid For I am wild, untamed East-west scavengers, Spill the blood of trees, Poison the roots of children, Playing war games with m-16s You have judged, Should I feel begrudged? For fame and glory, Your pens spill gory, In the name of a story, The 'perfect' African story. |
