Poem: Africa Unite

From the “jungles” of Soweto

To the “lakes” of Kalahari

Come!

Let us adopt grey children

Call them Mogadishu or Benghazi.

Donate your second hand underwear

To the west

Stand up! Let’s go

Attack undemocratic countries

Beyond the Mediterranean

Let us go monitor

Their elections and

Determine who wins or just

Declare rebels the rightful

Leaders of a country.

Let us go buy some humans

From across the Atlantic,

Chain them and make them

Work on our plantations.

If not, let’s go buy land in the isles

Start up banks in that land

And make the Afro world currency

Let us hold

walks for sick

Hollywood stars

Along the streets of New York

Also rear goats as Pets

And hold tomato fights at Buckingham palace.
