A Fantasy! Poem by ANKWASA HARLORD

Why are you not at school?
Papa it's Uhuru day,
Uhuru! So what...
Like Christmas we don't school.

I see days have changed
Where Bantu celebrate
What they lack!

Anthems sang,
Birds joining the singing
Anything but freedom
I see.

Lions of this nation
Are anything but free,
Talking of democracy, peace...
Audios they are, merely audios
Talking of intergeration
Yet like puppies fight themselves.

Self-esteem lost
Brotherhood no more,
Culture merely a myth
Education Curriculum totally chained,
Swimming in poverty, famine...
Yet having gold, diamonds, oil.

Our white friend,
Does it all for us;
Aren't we grateful
For his generosity;
Bathing in our minerals.

Uhuru is but a dream,
Or rather a fantasy
Cry Africa until your FREE.
