The poem reminded me of THINGS FALL APART by Chinua Achebe & HOW EUROPE UNDER DEVELOPED AFRICA by Walter Rodney. A beautiful depiction of the evils of exploitation and colonization of Africa, well articulated and insightfully penned in poetic diction with conviction. Lovely historical piece of poetry bristling with knowledge. Thanks for sharing Veronica. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
