Greatest Burglary of 21st Century

There is greatest burglary of the 21st Century Africa No one is directly responsible the Black world only suspects But the burglary is a reality minds of young Africans taken hearts of many youth looted creativity, inventiveness dwarfed We see moving flesh active consuming internet, phones Facebook, Whats App, twitter with ears locked, mouths shut Lovers of football made abroad haters of football made in Africa fans, fans of those foreign clubs have their minds, hearts stolen We see youth tracing stolen minds look for looted hearts across seas dreaming one day they transplant it to the empty bodies lingering here Worse than ancient slave trade it is Worse than looting minerals it is But poor Africa slumbers in peace with youth’s minds stolen and buried in great tombs of movies and internet manufactured across the high seas
