What A Shame Poem by Deluke Muwanigwa

What a shame

Is it a clever man who distorts occurences of past events to assume higher degrees of pedigree with sumptuous artificial sophistry?

This gives credence to an adage propounded by one prominent African president, himself, the epitome of the intrinsic contradictions of hackneyed storytelling amplified by he who benefits from his own lies. The Son of Africa opined that, it is not critically important to fret about where you have been, but where you are and where you are going.

True true. After all the history you are taught is untrue.

The history taught is the worst form of mental slavery. It's a mystery why billions take propaganda for fact. They recite, with excitement, the script, to the exclusion of any intellectual critique.

And, yet the truth is hidden in plain sight.

What a shame.
