What of the brother?
The iron manacle by the neck
The long trammel hauling our preen
The shackles on the feet
For africa I clamour
While you sit and rest in the summer
Tired of it all, for restful death I cry
The only solace from the sky
The juvinile poet, your brother
From the conciever of the earth, our father
For our land, I vociferate
Like a vexed man, I cogitate
Of the day I will cuddle
On your white skin to huddle
