White Man Tradition Poem by Ekwueme Kelechi

White Man Tradition



I'm tired of this tradition
Which keeps me in bondage of sweat
And ties my neck
Like a cow led to the slaughter

Even the lamb of God
Was never tied this way
As if i'm on a mission
Of forced suicide

The dressing of my fathers
Always reminds the day
That they're dust
But not this pompous tradition

Which has constantly wasted lives
Out of pride
