To Every Writer And Speaker by Ibrahimclouds: 6:33am On Jan 17, 2018 |
Writers - the owner of every bleeding pen why does your pen not bleed the blood of our dead fathers? why do you save the souls of the white men whose bodies are white but their hearts black... ah- they who called our fathers monkies who rode on our fathers like donkies I have gone to the slavery museum the pictures of our fathers on the wall those pictures are crying and lamenting I could hear the crying of our fathers I saw the fall of valiant men I felt the fears and troubles borne by the old women I perceived through the picture- the horrible smell of corpses the moon there was crying the sun there was assimilating the "concobilities" of those white devils- oh writers- so why? why do you now make your pen sing sing the name of those white men those whose "stick of nose" are like the ribs of palmfronts they dress like onions in their black suits "many many" "as in as in"; thus they speak their "concobilities of language", Oh writers- why do you dig in their land with your pen? digging for their histories writing them with the ink of our fathers made from their water and their blood... is it for fame or for what- for I know our land is the home of histories histories more than the stars beautiful than a cloudless sky rich in emotion rich in wisdom... why do we write for heraclitus? plato, shakespear and poe? why have you forgotten the history of Oduduwa? why have you erased the ink of Onakakanfo? the great war of Ojukwu the great beauty of the Egba people. And as for the speakers- I eulogize you for your follies "concobilities this, concobilities that" you are proud of your shamelessness you twist your tongues to mock your ancestors whose bodies are buried in the ground but their souls in me. I leave you to continue swimming in your endless ocean of rubbish you are good bastards of good fathers, you children of "the dog that chases after the fox" ©®Ibrahim Clouds(SWC). 1 Like |
