I WISH STRUGGLE HAD A LOUD MOUTH

I WISH STRUGGLE HAD A LOUD MOUTH

 

I thought the sun smiles from the east and develop winkles in the rosy-tinted West!

But the child from my community sees the sun rise from the south and is swallowed up in the North!

That child wakes up in total confusion. The confusing voices and sound from bars and taverns are the order of each morning.

The cold mornings without warm clothing yet survive by the hand and acts of the supreme one!

Hunger of the stomach, hunger of the mind written on the forehead.

Are dreams of our forefather forgotten? Vanished like morning mist!

An egg for breakfast! Three meals for the stomach!

Could it mean the gods are asleep? Are the gods dead?

Integrity and justice are rare commodities! Rare as a white horse

Though the face shines yet deep down the soul trouble burns!

The brightness of the small pair of two eyes cannot tell the story! The inside is rotten the outside lives! Hope is the only thing left!

Who is strong and who is weak? Who is small and who is big?

Our sacrifice bleeds prosperity for the crooked!

I only wish, I wish Struggle had a loud mouth!

Rethinking Africa- Need for Intelligent , Pragmatic and Radical Young People for a better Africa!

Africa still remain a dark continent and if not carefully handled will be darker and a worst. It is painful to note that after so many years we are still struggling to be independent. I wonder what would happen if our forefather were to be brought from the died and ask them as to whether this is what they had fought for? There must be a great revolution led by the young people and for all our people. We know that many young people have been used to cause revolutions but they have not integrated themselves into the systems as a per-signed demand before regime change.

On this blog we shall be discussion issues that affect Africa and suggest solutions to the beautiful continent of Africa. They is a real scramble for this continent and only the young people can save it! We must Rethink Africa!

Moving together for Africa

We need each other Africa. We can survive without them! We need to rethink Africa!
