A truly special and wonderful gift,
entered the world one fine day
a truly loving and special friend,
sincere and devoted to the end,
...
Long time ago you invaded our land, took our land, not your land
You disregarded our welcome and our traditions
Remember me
I was there
...
He was so happy that day since the rains had gone
and the shimmering sun hanging over the August day
was smiling once again - as it had done in Africa.
Yet it hadn't always been that way, he thought
...
Partially clothed in resplendent fineries of moonlight beams;
silhouetted as if by movements from still recurrent dreams;
warriors of ancient times stand before the chosen path to go
beyond where weary plantation owners were fearful to know.
...
European ways are not African ways,
no respect for the traditions of ancient days,
not this logical, restricted and stagnant flow
I crave for that spiritual freedom and creative glow.
...
