A Comedy In History

Never forgetting those loud voices Voices acting as the vehicles of historical antimonies Antimonies which in themselves are testimonies of ideological betrayal These conflicting mirages of imagination Divorcing the empirical from the theoretical And shouts from the Actions. Abreast the crest of rejected African egos, Egos which perhaps are the ‘ethos’ of a ‘timeless’ Pan-Africanism. An Africanism whose essence has now been, Destroyed by this phase of Nihilism. These self –appointed Medians of history Medians fancying themselves as the only mediums of The historical message, A message whose true medium is that which Reaches the ordinary man struck by poverty. Are indeed medians in as much as they are comedians, In a comedy whose true heroes are dead.
