Instead kept deaf ears to reasons
And rather looked the other way in dead silence –
Stiffnecked like lifeless mgbada.

Yes I am African,
And proud to be one.
Yes I am black,
And from the third world,
Full of hunger and

But am I not alive?
That is enough to love my
motherland.

Louder than the
fierce noise of an
enraged mob -
Our flower has been
plucked before
blossom
With our
maiden-blood running
deep
Streaming deep into
the merciless...

Why did it go blank?
What was I twisting with?
Did my mind travel without me?

Dedication with commitment
Modesty and submissiveness
