They Are a Hybrid

The African is a hybrid
First she was Arabized
Then got Europeanized
And came Americanization
And now Sino-Africanized
Result is a people who are
Patched, shackled, mended
A people stained, patched
Mended, shackled cannot
Enjoy freedom, liberty
And self-determination
Truly African in pulse
