Bantu Poem, Shahiri Mussabwa 15

You are very 
Intelligent, 
All eyes 
On you,
_____________

Some ears 
close up, 
Some  hands 
with charms.

Message: 
Majority black communities
Always failed to support
And protect  
The very intelligent 
People among them. 
It always be a secret motive 
To eliminate them through charms 
Or poisons. 
Being a very intelligent to some 
Bantus and other black groups 
Was  always a danger
From the begining of colony 
to today.
More black people were instructed by the Majority  colonisers to eliminate 
Their very intelligent people
And that pratique continued secretly...
Which is  " selfhate "
