CONFLICT IN CULTURES | Masela Samuel | 16-09-2022 - 13:21
No, Black Africa
The gods are not happy
You're helping the black culture
To crumble
Like a deserted dilapidated building
You have abused the black culture
Describing its ways satanic
You adore foreign names
At the expense of your own
You happily identify yourselves
As Sam, Olive, Alex, Boy, Girl, .....
What an abomination!
You're cutting the roots
That hold you
In favour of enslavement
Tell me,
Where beyond Africa
Are your ethnic names
Adored the way you do theirs?
Respect your culture
For only none
Is greater than the other
Every mother prides in her own baby
Regardless of their looks
Comment about "CONFLICT IN CULTURES" by Masela Samuel
For sure what went wrong in Africa
For sure we should get back to our culture. The poem is bringing out the real image of Africans of today. Please more poems sir.
Yeah, thank you Tonny. We have to realise where we have gone wrong and adjust accordingly.
