CASAVA REPUBLICS
Juba
Child of lost sperm in sunsets of
political masturbation
Wagadugu
Deadline of our revolutions
Darfur
Constipated stomach ,disease ravaged,
bloodless dozing monk.
Nairobi
Culture lost in the dust of Saxon lexicon
and gutter slang
Soweto
Xenophobia Drunk and Afro-phobia sloshed.
Marikana
Cervical blister of the unfinished
revolution fungi.
Harare
Corruption polonium deforming elders into
political hoodlums
Congo
Lodge of secessionists and human
guillotines
SAD REVOLUTIONARY LULLABIES
……..Sing songs of afghan circumcised,
Damascus masturbating bullets
Sing Belafonte Sing!
Of revolutions that never crawled, sing!
Lumumba, see whiz kids castrating
political gods
Nkurumah, see them mutilating
revolutionary goddesses
Sing Kunta, Sing Kinte
I am tired of revolutions importing
colonial mood,
Propaganda decayed pimps frying anthems
like frikadels
Tired savages roasting constitutions in
corruption oil pans
Sing songs of freedoms that never walked,
Sing!
RHETORICS
Mandela, the summer sun that rose through
rubbles of our winter
Gadafi and Sadamu making shadufs and
pyramids
…… . another spring
Obama and Osama pulling rich political
carrot in Segorong
Robin Island slept golden nightmares and
charcoal dreams,
Soweto virgins cracking their under feet
in the long walk to freedom
Faces carrying the burden of freedom and
anthems.
