The Bird With a Message
The bird with a message
Sold out citizens
Are not far from our identity
Our future is on sales
Yet the young are busy
On swag
Competitive for the wrong
Reason
Busy on crimes for a greener
Pasture
While our land is on sales
But who cares
The bird with a message
We are not far to lose
What it only once and
For a life time
We have no other home
But our home
We have no other pride
But the dignity of our
Home land
But am sorry now
Yes to all my fellow youth
Home and abroad
Am sorry our land is
On sales
So clear right in front
Of our view
Yet we are busy
Swaging
Is a shame
The bird with a message
Since when do we have
Chinese friends
When was the Genesis
Of our relationship with China
Can any one show me their
Sincere generosity in Africa
If not for their profit
How come suddenly
They are invading our
Land
Suddenly they are now our
Saviour's indeed
What an ignorance
The bird with a message
The giver never lack
Yet Africa case remains
The opposite
Despite we feed the world
Yet we never run out of
The nets of poverty
How come things never change
How come suddenly
Our leaders are borrowers
How come China suddenly
Is this generous to AFRICA
I hope not to fight for my space
With a Chinese one day in africa
This makes me curious
And in this dept of curiosity
I spread my human wings
with a my poems to all the
Youth in africa just like
The bird with a message
