After Berlin, Brussels

 

After Berlin Now Brussels

 Mother Africa, the dream of many
Africa, awash with riches
Africa devoured like a carcass then
Many staring at her
Like the greedy hyenas in the Serengeti!
 
It happened in Berlin
The year 1884 to be precise
Now the shameful balkanization
Looms again,
with viciousness and stubbornness
With arrogance and muscle
 
Brussels isn’t far from Berlin
The pack of “them!” sat again
With determination, resolve and shamelessness
To slice Africa again
 
Thanks your Excellency, Ben Mkapa
Awakening the giant Africa
Out of a deep slumber
Mugabe isn’t the issue
Democracy is a mere bait
Africa remains a piece of cake!
For them, not for Africans!
