Forfeit Dreams


    We all want equality of freedom
    Yet they boo Africans of racism 
    How come colour concocted a disease
    Day by day, we continue recording deportees 

     
Even in our own theatre
At those who dressed native; we flutter
But we go nutter
To foreign dress; as we mutter admiringly like an orator 
Not our culture or its prestige we groove on
More confident to countermove and condemn
Yet we cherished to be one
To achieve the counterterrorism is what am still to fathom 

   
      It seems we wish to forget our Origin
      Then if the foundation is faulty
      How would we help our dudgeon 
      When we do not live for our dreams' actuality
