My Home Flag Poem by Vincent Onyeche

My Home Flag



My home flag is colorfully attractive
And the waders are green-eyed.
Delight in the minds of plebes
Why does inferiority complex affect the black ethnicity?  

Slept off to dream of happy ending
Left high and dry, to waddle out of dreams
Only to wakeup in the present not wanted
Accede to the standing of my home flag

Bane of their existence
Pain in their neck
Our wrappers turned trousers
Our ethnicity got lost
 
Lost it wade in the water
Life is a wafer
Yours is wafer-thin
The fox and wader scoff at my home flag.
