Sore Shame Of Sorcery Poem by John Sensele

Africa's penchant for witchcraft
Drags the continent backwards as wizards
Torture innocent civil servants with a craft
That deserves no sympathy if Africa is to march towards

The new millennium and carve a place
Among modern continents who develop and promote
Artificial intelligence, information technology and fly to explore the surface
Of Pluto, Saturn and exo-planets and devote

Considerable resources to engineering and science
Which open doors of progress wider
While Africa delves into a stance
Driven backwards by blood suckers and worship a leader

Whose only claim to fame is to maim
Ambitions, aspirations and devotion to duty
Which laggards and black guards aim
To fight with no sense of shame for their duplicity.
