Saul Williams, “The Continent” Last night I laid within your continent Sought salvation from frustration with in your loving nation found the true meaning of homeland when you let me inland Swahili tongue knew I hadn’t been there before kissed for me to stay awhile I did you one better and stayed forever, in your country Then you let me tap your virgin drum releasing echoes of me being free Free to run through your countryside touching jasmine, dropping weed Free to nibble on your Nigeria Blow on your Botswana Eat your Opia til there is no more Opia left Won’t be any leftovers when I’m done Won’t be anything when I’m done Just remembrance of that night when I laid within your continent seeking salvation from frustration within your loving nation and that’s all we’ll have That, and a few thousand orphans to read this poem
