Grieved land

Okonkwo Victoria 2007 (Lagos)

Epic
Colony's mark
       White's frenemies with priceless items

White stain on black
        Unbridled civilization! Her own doing

Lonely heart of agony
        Broken spirit's
Perfume and flowers devowed
        She decided and was deceived

Wise foolish black
        Her hustles,hassles,gains and tears
 Lock's on the mouth,hands and legs

         Ape's obey!obey!
  Impure dance rhytmed ▫️
