That is a big question?
The desire to know!
How fate desires to shape destiny
Since lines were drawn
Good or bad!
You robbed us
Took everything
Some admired your new status
Not knowing the source
Never kind!
You instituted new rules
We were never in your mind
Constructed belief
Overwhelmed them
It is you now
Father passed on
Mother left us in a huff
Left in the hands of them
Ready to peddle us
We sat there awaiting
Educated to the brim
Filthy rich and knowledgeable
Megalorphomic
Choosing at will
Extraordinary lifestyle
You disassortiated yourself
Disengaged voluntarily
Flew to the diaspora at dawn
New lines you bought
Cutting ties
When you had choice!
You incarcerated us at will
Took our estate
Uprooted our rights
Installed new systems
We have given in
Gave-in in total
We look anticipating
Always awaiting
The sun is never rising!
Is it the skin colour?
We bathed
The vanishing cream can
But the hair remain black
We can’t change!
But remain there optionless!
