Roasted Chickens, Rusted Spanners

Africa, why are you excited so much with roasted chicken you get each year coming to you from foreign poultry farms Can they lay eggs that can hatch, multiply? Africans, why are you excited so much with rusted spanners you sign for each season coming in to build grass-thatched huts Can they build industrial complexes in Africa? Africans, why are you excited so much, with expertise you invite for every project, coming in waves of hawkers, advisers? Can they build independent African economy? Roasted chicken, rusted spanners are exciting to Africa with eyes covered by fogs and mists
