COIN



Why do I have to bring forth my sweat 
before you come to me? 
Why do you have to come 
when you're not staying for a long time? 

None of these folks are ready 
to take my two cents worth
when they don't see you with me. 


Don't you have eyes? 
Or your eyes lack field of vision? 

I have inside my head 
what takes you to be my friend,
but you chose to be with a lamebrain 
who doesn't know your friendship value. 
Aren't you tired of how he sends you errands? 
The errands he sends you with no return inside. 
Don't you feel tortured 
with how he sets you ablaze in the beer parlour? 
Don't you feel bad when he deposits you to
Prostitute Microfinance Bank?

Are you so stupid to not have respect for age 
that you place a kid on a man's throne? 
You give guts to the kid and make his 
mother bows for him 
when the case should be vice versa.

Look! 
No matter how you deny me.
No matter how you make every second looks 
like a month in hell by not having you, 
I will never cross the line. 
I will never sign a friendship contract that would 
have an expiry date with you. 
I would rather wait till you regain your senses 
and come to stay in a house I built for you 
with what I stored in my brain.

Many African countries claimed to be an independent nation since the power of ruling themselves had been given to them by their slavery masters. However, if only these nations knew that colonisation had never parted their ways, but lived amongst them in another dimension. African countries celebrated fifty years and sixty years and above of being independent, nevertheless, even the black people continent knows pretty well that it has never gained the desired freedom. When are we going to wake up?      Colonial masters left Africa even though their grime when they first scuffed their heel on African continent has never left and since Africans have never learnt, they introduced modern slavery to us and we willingly surrender without being tortured as they did to our fore fathers. Africa claims to be independent, but drastically dependent on her masters again as...
