They deny us the culture of civilisation
They speak ill of us that we are a third world nation
Because they can’t grow so they sink us
So we keep looking at them from a far distance
Somehow we get the impression that we need their assistance
They consciously bait us to unconsciously submit to their creed
They send us aid to aid our greed
They tell us lies to boost our esteem
We inhale their smoke while they blow our steam
We inhale the smokes to the ashes of their weed
They never cared for us to succeed
Many years ago they derived joy in making us bleed
Today, nothing has changed but the method to their routine
They come speaking the truth trying to map out our needs
We fall victim and forget history until we find ourselves bleeding on our knees
By now it might seem to you this poem is about race
Not a nation is bound by words, this is just political disgrace
We go falling in circles because we fail to accept our place
Look at the person’s heart before you go judging his face
It might be more similar to yours because you both share the same fate
They victimise while you judge
Despite your lack of qualifications you refuse to budge
It is only ignorant of you to expect them to desist their game
I know you have the impression that it is a free world
And with the right luck, you could be on their lane
Luck might be a factor but your heart is the key
No one but you can tell you what it is you can and you cannot be
The moment you judge, you fall right under their sleeve
It is not but what, rather who when it comes to need
So before you look outside I suggest you look within
