Colonisation Poems - Poems about Colonisation

They told me I was pretty for a black girl But if that is the case You want me to interpret that as being special That out of every black girl Im the exception To your pre conceived perception To how you view a black woman The only way to take it Is as an insult Black women are beautiful But your attitude isn't And when...

A threat of superiority Leads to inferiority Of a heart consumed By a venomous poison Of hate lead by jealousy A darkness claim their soul Convinced that an enemy Was those loved by the sun With skin oh so golden Threatened by a culture To which they steal like vultures Begging to be chosen Colonising a moment Belonging to those with a darker skin colour All...

Bombarded by myriads of daily data without cease, I suggest a forthright discourse on this topic, carousel of trend and sound adherence merely looming? some unwitting sentiment an aspirational diction, reverberation or innuendo pending aftermath augur, the world an information waterlog with extravagant scoop, discretion this gaunt flag evaluating trivia, propaganda as fragility mask that impregnable fortress, might be...

We all started life a sheath of blank pages Able to be shaped into anything. Paper aeroplanes, an artist’s canvas, a library book. Our parents determine what kind of paper we are -Cardstock, coloured tissue or plain white sheets. As we grow, our friends, our families, our teachers Etch the ink into us, Page by page, letter by letter Building up our...

They came with flags, with fire, with steel, Spoke of trade, yet came to steal. Lands once free, now marked and chained, A stranger's law, a tyrant's reign. They mapped the sky, they named the trees, Measured rivers, claimed the seas. Their words replaced the native tongue, Ancient songs left unsung. Not just land—our minds they took, Rewrote the past in gilded books. Fed us...

Colonisation for human is must. Life of Sun is now reduced to half. Absolute no doubt, easy to forecast. Source of Energy 'Sun' will turn white dwarf. It’s not that life on Earth to face trouble, as without fuel, Sun won’t...

My Garden Colonised In spring, I worked so very hard To make a garden of my yard I planted seedlings, but alas A hoard of pests arrived en masse From all the pests a plant can host I really hate the greenfly most I wash him off with soapy suds And still the blighter chews my buds Then there’s our friend,...

COLONISATION A country that previously stood alone But then, to be part of a greater whole The language adopting a different tone And some may argue, will lose its soul Yet there have been instances of shame Securing and raiding natural resources When avaricious trade stakes its claim Even imposing rule with armed forces But if done well, there will be a benefit To new...

In shadows cast by Western might, The System whispers, a colonial blight. 1. Shatter morals, a cultural fray, where heritage falters, lost in dismay. Reduced to echoes of a proud past, souls adrift, in shadows cast. 2. Weaken currencies, neocolonial schemes, a puppet dance where exploitation teems. Devalue...

Africans chose independence, colonizers accepted their wishes And  brought them neo-colonisation Which  looks like modern incarceration As they have limitations of rights Locally and internationally Which is opposing liberty And so called democracy. Some people of good hearts out there, What do you think when Africans banks Reserves are in control of some colonisers? As  colonisers continue ...

Hatred is a sort of colonisation It governs the heart Like colonisation governs a colony Where freedom is restricted Love exhausted Hegemony impudent And the mind becomes a slave Chronically angry and frustrated And so a spiritual release is needed Maybe through a religion Or a blessing from God...

A clenched fist rose in the air filled with chants and gun smoke All across Africa we marched and our spirits never broke The power of fingers clenched in a fist cracked walls of discrimination Then oil unclenched the fingers and we started to point and make accusations When the fingers dried, we clenched our fists again, clinched our...

Why are the owls flying in the day The frogs jumping and cracking Around in day light Why are the bats leaking the ripe Fruits in the day The birds flying around with keen Attention like termites on an ant hill The elephants from across the seas are No longer in our farms neither are They still felling down our trees Here and Lo nothing...

Telephones are a useless reflection of communication as forms of forks do not require such modernity to talk. When planning waltzing with 89 peas for a show that has been advertised globally always be mindful of pods. Pods are anarchical and can cause the peas to wish to jump back into bed. Such a luxury...
