Lament Of African Nation In Europe Poem by Melikhaya Zagagana

THE LAMENT AND ECHOS
FAR IN VAGUE DISTANT VALLEYS
MY NATION CALLS ITS CHILDREN
NOT BY ONE BUT IN HOUSES THEY COME
THE MOMENT IS NOW READY
MYTH ONCE KILLED OUR NATION IS NOW DEAD
TO OUR IDENTITY IT NEVER BELONG
WE ARE A NATION FAR FROM ITS CLAIMS
FROM AFRICA TO AFRICA OUR IDENTITY IS THERE
FOR A MOMENT THEY HAVE DELAYED OUR PROGRESS
FOR SOME DECADES THEY DENIED US WHO WE ARE
IF NOW WE HESITATE IT IS OUR FAULT
TRUE TIMES HAS CAUGHT UP THEIR LIES
THEY HAVE NOW ESTABLISH THEMSELVES TO WEALTH
AS THEY LIED TO BE BETTER NATION UNDER THE SUN
EVEN THEIR SCROLLS LEAKED WITH HOLES
REWRITING WHO WE ARE WAS BOUND TO FAIL
BUT THEIR MYTH WAS ADRESSED TO RICHES
TO THEM WE HAVE GIVEN ALL THE MOTHERLAND
FROM THEM WE SHALL HAVE IT BACK
FOR OUR NATION WE MUST NOT DESPAIR
WEALTH IS NATURES JEWEL THAT NO MAN CAN CLAIM
AFRICA IS OURS AS THEY CLAIM EUROPE TO BE THEIR HOME
AS VISITIORS ONLY THEY SHOULD BE IDENTIFIED
FOR CENTURIES THEY HAVE OVERSTAYED
THE AGE OF TIMES IS AN EVER RUNNING HORSE
NO LIES SHALL EVER TRIUMPH ETERNITY
THEIR DOCTRINES AND LOUSING SCIENCE HAS LEAKED
OVER THEIR SHOULDERS FOREVER ARE BOUND TO SQUINT
BEHIND THEIR ASSES WE SHALL NOT DESPAIR OUR NATION
