Revolutionary
We African heads of state must stop behaving
like puppets who dance every time
the imperialists pull the strings.
Glory to our peoples,
Dignity to our people,
Victory to our people,
Fatherland or death,
we shall conquer” -
Quote by Ibrahim Traore
(New Burkina Faso President)
"We must choose either champagne
for a few or safe drinking water for all "
~ Thomas Sankara
Revolutionary,
When some leaders
hear about revolutionary
they confuse it with mercenary
which is not necessary
when a visionary
speaking some facts.
African democracy
is so disastrously
as some political leaders
can not break neo-colonisation systems.
some army officers in many west African countries
stood up ,chased out some political leaders
via coup d'etats,
chased out many western military bases,
banned colonial ties with some western countries
and changed their constitutions.
Yoh! the militaries felt pain to see how some
young Africans continue dying in waters to Europe
while their countries
keeping eighty percent of their resources
in some western countries
which don't benefit their people
because of some wrong agreements
in the process of freedom declarations
from nineteen fifties.
