Africa Is Not Your Lab

AFRICA IS NOT YOUR LAB Monumental carcasses impended: Africa is not a lab, A pinch of your pin is worse than knife stab - Reducing a people you didn't create, Solution is your cunning bait But your weapon is merciless hate. The stains on your lab coat is deceit, Your agenda and past records you can't delete. Ply your experiments in this evil's - smithy, Poisoned-chalice to heal sounds pretty? Not fitting. Your vaccine is the assassin; Medicine from Tennessee tested on the Edisons Might not be antidote in Benin for the Bensons. Alfred Tennyson's Ulysses too surmount enemies And so will we cos Africa is not a lab place. Grind away! Moistenly mash up your paste, Abort the mission to lay Africa waste. We'll chew kola at your tricks - we're not in haste! Not in haste to dine with ancestors & kings, We'll dance to batá, gongon, base guitar & strings While our liberty & redemption comes in a collabo. Africa is definitely not your labo! Vick Manuel Poetry {VMP} Copyright © December, 2020.
