A Writer... In Africa, I am ignored and neglected, Reduced to dust, ridiculed and rejected Mocked and undermined, worse than what I expected I study an art, done my best to be perfected As my works scar the minds, further Im detested Those that lead impose propaganda Blind citizens, are we? I wonder... Our young are raised in fear, no direction, not sober!! Mocked by movies, music and even literature Perceived in all aspects as amatuer, If not that, a monkey or a creature... From birth we are made to feel inferior, A third world, governed by narcissistic rulers Accepting hand-outs from whom they deem superior!! I see all this, youth drenched in pain Living in a bottle lives lived in vain... Nights in the cold, the young soaked in rain Literary works considered feminine, damaged such a brain So i picked a pen, what have I to lose with everything to gain If I refrain, Ill have myself to blame Though the mirror cracks, it is held by the FRAME!!
