The Best Poem Of DAVID OWEGHORO

Married

AFRICA is married to men of selfish intentions
they never faint to drink her juice
yet they know, I tell you now, they know
she is a fertile woman and she'll never run dry.
they would tease her with their black political lies
and she is easily beguiled or better still without a concrete choice
where even the knowledge of the truth cannot save her
or still, what can she do between two devils
gunning for to be her head, she cannot but choose the lesser
but yet a devil still. And so she buys the lies and gains
the little, the crumbs that may fall, a little fun to tease her well
she gives her vote, and even if she doesn't, it doesn't count
a snake must be enthroned, a hungry demon
she will be sucked, raped, and her cry of protest
will add nought but pleasure to their hearts
they love to see her bleed
these unfaithful servants, these prodigals
these wet stones that gives no drop to quench thirst
they are there and they would love to be there
even after forever
and AFRICA cries to nothing, nothing is there
