Mama Poem by Deluke Muwanigwa

Mama

Rating: 4.5


What do you do when you have a sticky problem?
You have done vaccine research programmes?
You have tried self isolation, quarantine and hygiene?
But the pandemic keeps escalating like never seen

All over the world situation is desperate
People getting sick and death continues to exasperate
It is time to drop all racial attitudes and prejudices
And go back to the origin of all human species

Do you remember two hundred thousand years ago?
When all races, tribes and ethnicities left Africa to go?
All over the globe to start new colonies now in dire pandemic trouble?
It is back home to Africa to solve Covid on the double

Africa the home of all humans has been spared
Cast away your vestigial attitudes of superiority so wierd
Fictious theories why Africans are not dying in large numbers
And use our genome, plasma or whatever; back to Mama Africa

'It is time to drop all racial attitudes and prejudices And go back to the origin of all human species' - true. 'And use our genome, plasma or whatever; back to Mama Africa' - that's good, a patriotic call.

Yeah, we should all go back to the place from where our forefathers have come. That may solve the problem of the pandemic. Enjoyed reading your poems. Thanks for sharing.
