Thoughts (Poem 2012)
I haven't done one of these in awhile, but the clashes in Kenya makes me wonder:
Thoughts
4:00am 23/08/2012
What defines traditions, language and what you see?
Who decides the thoughts you make about people?
The perception to hurt, kill and harm women and children?
Who teaches you to hate? Why do you fight against one another?
It still puzzles me every day,
To see people killing each other,
I hate the African mind post independence,
I hate the African mind post slavery,
I hate the African Mind when it come unity,
I hate this shit called Xenophobia and ethnic clashes,
is Africa really a better place???
I hate these African politicians,
I hate these young African rappers, who want to be GANGSTER,
I hate these innocent girls that want to call themselves BITCHES,
I hate them ALL!!!
Who do you think you are?
I hate the fact that you are a FREE African!!!
Because you are an ignorant AFRICAN!!!
I love Patrice Lumumba,
I love Steven Bantu,
I love the mind that wants to bring people together,
I love young entrepreneurs struggling to bring this continent up,
I love the women breaking stones on the side of the road, just to make money,
I love the women who wake up early and go get their hustle on and feed their kids,
So it makes me wonder sometimes,
I wonder what makes a Kenyan hate a fellow Kenyan,
I wonder what makes a Sudanese hate a fellow Sudanese
I wonder what makes a Zambian hate a Congolese,
I wonder what Makes a South African hate foreigners,
I wonder what makes you see the world the way you see it,
I wonder what makes an African hate an African,
I wonder what morals make the woman you are!
I wonder what morals make the man you are!!!
But are you really a Woman? A Man? A Leader?
Do you deserve to live the life you living?
Do you deserve to be treated with respect?
Do you deserve the pain, sweat, and death people faced for you to be free?
But most importantly,
Do you deserve to be called an African?
You Decide...
