Good night Africa

Good night Africa

A Poem by kudakwashe J Ziunye
"

Africa 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.
