Colony After Colonisation

Why are the owls flying in the day The frogs jumping and cracking Around in day light Why are the bats leaking the ripe Fruits in the day The birds flying around with keen Attention like termites on an ant hill The elephants from across the seas are No longer in our farms neither are They still felling down our trees Here and Lo nothing is showing that This elephants are gone at least A smell and breath of relief Why are my people blind in the means Of day light Why are they poor in their Canaan Land where milk and honey endlessly Flows Tell me heroes of our past what Is the cause of Africa's Hill of wants May be they should come back But this is uncertainty because We are the solutions to Our problems Empty problems we created
