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
