We have Struggled for a Return
To Relevance and Acceptance
Year to Years, Decade to Decades
We,
Children of a Lesser God/ess
Trumpled Upon by Potatoes
Boots of Coloniality Twice Endured
Though we do not Thrive
Yet Still We Survive
Tenacious,
Persevering,
Enduring this,
Our Internal Colonialism!
We Shall rise
From these Dungeons
Of Extended Political ‘Exiles’
When the Dust
Of this Turmoil has Settled
And the Tides have Calmed
Into a Soothing Songness
We Shall rise again to Count
And hold to Account
Those Whose Selfishness
Roasted Our Nationhood
In the Cackling Fires of
Ethnic Xenophobia
