Independence , Self- Government

Africans chose independence,
colonizers accepted their wishes
And  brought them neo-colonisation 
Which  looks like modern incarceration 
As they have limitations of rights 
Locally and internationally 
Which is opposing liberty 
And so called democracy. 

Some people of good hearts out there, 
What do you think when Africans banks 
Reserves are in control of some colonisers? 
As  colonisers continue  taking decisions
on all African matters  proves the inexistence
of the African Union institution. 

What is a next good move for Africa and Africans? 
I can see some riots of many Africans 
and chasing out some western soldiers
 in different UN peace missions,  
pointing them to be wars promoters 
And robbers of their natural resources. 

People of good hearts do you accept their claims? 
In democracy we must understand 
the voices of the majority, 
 if not... it is an  imposition 
which is much dictatorial.

People of good hearts don't you smell 
the arrogance of some world leaders? 
Where love operates,  
there are  no some colonizers 
who dictating other leaders. 
There is no so called democracy 
which is neo- colonisation.
