TO YOU ‘O’ WHITE MAN

TO YOU ‘O’ WHITE MAN

The silent dawn embarked that distant world.
Did, but none see in them the Color.
They, them around curled and songs oft hurled,
Amidst incessant labors; to pride their ruler.
But lo! Past yearly nights, the horizon rose,
Strange white doth see that land.
Era long he; inhuman in them black enforce,
For oft under mines toiled he in sand.
The know not did see no mines;
Be it diamond or gold.
Then lions roared high in lapse of times,
To shed black blood in cold.
The signs then read ‘whites only”,
In all a place in their Hometown.
And unlaw in them did all blacks plea,
But whites turn deaf and see voices drown.
For all they are but were a pack,
In that giant black mole hill.
(What do the minority civilization lack?)
Riches! No. then the cold blood they kill.
For many a blacks the knell oft ring,
In women, youth and aged
But “free Africa” they dreamed to bring,
To miles and miles doth fade.
Ages hath the world known,
The men alike of seas and ground.
We ought to reap their goodwill’s sown
‘Cause, its love that makes the world go round.
