Wake Up Poem by Raimi Babatunde

When the Eagle flies above
The Fox usually caught off-guard
She does not see it coming
Until the Eagle snaps her meal

All retrieval process becomes abortive
Tails waving around in desperation
The all begins with a chase
A chase in futility

When we get distracted
Usually by small minds
Events that leads to regrets
We enter into personal exile

Broken and shaken
We yearn for expressions
With entitlement mentality
That enslaves our mind

Wake up Africa!
Life belongs to risk takers and visionaries
Our problem is not slavery
But our mentality and attitude
