Xenophobia Poem by Oladimeji Hakeem Olayinka

Xenophobia



We are not seeing the Africa inspired by Mandiba.
We are not seeing the Africa inspired by our
Ancient Kings of rusted spear and shield.

This is not Africa!
This is African inspired after colonization,
The one set at the period of imperialism.
The Berlin conference of 1884-85.

The oppressors have been winning a long time now
Comes the south Africa against all Africa
Shame should slam the face of south African
Who are perpetrating the brutal and barbaric act.

In Bloemfontein sudden death of our brothers we see
The Nigeria, Somalian, Ghanaian, Tanzanian
Contribute the rescue of there black brothers
When they suffer under apartheid

We are the most divided and dysfunction race on the planet
The whitish have called the black land there home
Our fellow black man, oppressed and sabotage
Our black woman, have turn to runaway slave
Chasing her with all metallurgy
We allow the line of boarders to separate us.
