Wen Am Gonne

I will go,
Since i'm now called ,
A useless glutton
That only ruin
the meager flesh 
of your barn
And offer to you not
My sinews .

Worry not,
For i will go!
Even my foot prints
i shall carry along.

The crow of the roosters
shall meet me
At my father's old hut
Where you said,
I ate annually.
I will go back 
To where i belong
And where you picked me
May be to the thousand years
Old farm visited by menopause

But it is when i am gone,
You will realize
i was the beast of burden
That loaded  your mountainous
Hunchback!

When i am gone,
My name AFRICA too
Shall forever rest
And my bent_back
Shall be no more 
The table of your feet
When in leisure!
i shall have my mouth
Free off the filth of your anus.
