Good night AfricaA Poem by kudakwashe J ZiunyeAfrica is not snoring and deep in sleep.It is dreaming.In its quietness there lies the hope of awakening,waiting for the giant to wake up from a dream.
Good night Africa
Here are your princely Sorrow proof blankets Africa Blankets of ultra modern ideologies and sanctified lies Receive them,receive them,receive them For they are from merciful Christian European donors Who love brainless,exploited continent like you Receive them,accept them for your Earthly bliss Enjoy sleeping,dreaming,resting,miracles and witchcraft More than development,philosophy,technology and peace For there is completely nothing satanic about it anyway Refuse not these nifty contemporary blankets Africa Your speeding population shall need them for their naps More shall be given you in exchange of gold mines and human resources Read it always,whilst we make money to help you tomorrow Yes-sleep comfortably on thorny bed of blissful ignorance Whilst our hefty Thoughts penetrates in your dream of peace Till you learn to think,to work,to philosophize and to meditate For now,for our advantage enjoy your sleeping and miracles Good night,good night Africa We shall always say this to you. © 2024 kudakwashe J Ziunye |
