This Court

It should have been here, this court Here in Arusha or Abuja or nearer This court that seeks to try Africans For crimes said to be committed Against people here in Africa Not at The Hague, not in Europe Not in the belly of the serpent That enslaved, robbed, raped And destroyed much of Africa And still plots to dominate To subjugate, to humiliate And yes, to control, yes To control our psyche Our resources Our thoughts And our destiny Our greater destiny For we are destined to be Greater than ever before Richer than ever before Freer than ever before Happier than ever before Prouder than ever before And thankful to God only Not to self-appointed Self-annointed bigots Whose aim is to keep The status quo, the status quo, the status quo! C’est toujours un liaison tres dangereuse!
