They Say We Are Parasites
Sunday, 02 October 2011 22:45
(Poem ) - Of course because we drove, flown and canoed To the heavens on earth, if there is such a place
Yet, we who made the journey wallow in our achievements
To the United States, “here I come"
Down in Deutschland, the streets greets us with frowns
In London, the cocktails of humanity litter every corner of the East End
Whilst Sweden swallow our offspring in de-Africanisation
With all the congested invisible souls from far away nations
Our people are proud for us to be Invisibles in the West
The tag ‘parasites’ lingers behind us
What about the crimes against our ancestors, the thieving of our gold and silver
The stealing of mortal men???
They say we are parasites
Africans are parasites in the West
They go unnoticed to work places created by the Westerners
They enjoy the supermarkets, the cheap food, beer, and meat, chicken
They even depend on the social services
They get houses, income support, and many other benefit packages
Africans ignore African problems
Africans look up to Western achievements for comfort
But Africans are parasites even in spirituality
They pay to Evangelist pastors to Prophesies for them
They belabor Marabous to seek successes for them
What is that, we’re not parasite of???
We announce our victimizations but forget our responsibilities
Will the West ever mirrors our future Africa
Where our hopes and aspirations will depend
And passive inactivity will turn into a machine of
Ever ready activist for the common cause
For now ‘let’s make do with our parasital tendencies’ whilst we ponder
