Tower Of Babel

Those chairmen are in the tower of babel again Painting and repainting the future of our land with crooked hands Laughing at things as the world pass us by. Those chairmen are in the tower of babel again Writing us messages that have no bloodline. Although black oil runs in our veins like water of vegetation There is a sunstroke in our land. We dream of cassava songs in the market We dream of an open vehicle that could bear the tiredness of our souls but we are at the verge of things. Our chairmen our flag bearers of fences Translators of black dreams with European mirror. The white house is open for destitutes, kindred of destitutes that are china in African sun. Those chairmen are in the tower of babel again and there is a sunstroke in our land The scorching heat is against banana groves. Look and see children on a hungry march in the metallic road.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
