African Grave by Uche Chidozie Okorie

African Graves
 

In African graves lie million skulls demise

 With wisdom and knowledge untapped

From ancestral to renaissance compromise

 They never build the Solomon vault they mapped.

Now I live to know the killer lord

The dark knight that robbed the light of my people

I was forced to hide my identity before his sword

 For, so young I am; I can’t grab his Adam’s apple.

Does it mean you should stagger around?

Suck bottle’s nipple and play chest with fool

While the chaotic war trumpets sound

The enemy dominates and uses you as footstool.

Don’t slumber do what you can, be vigilant

Until I feed my catapult stones good for that giant.
