Fashion fades
Big comrade weds today,
we must wear our
famous military regalia;
grandpa died last moon,
pay him respect on black,it is our tradition;
lulu prize giving day
crawls close,
we;winners must look unique,
put up a red over-all!
The social day sneaks in,
an African afro can serve
and a cultural vestment.
My allegiance to heathen;
........'s beauty pageant
knocks on my door,
queen Elizabeth's silk
and princess flora's gold ornaments,
'guarantees my crossing';
fashion fades;
wedding attracts gentility
not military agility
and restivity;
burial evolkes giving pure respect,
white is the best;
fashion fades
red shows emptiness and brutalility,
blue is the color
for lulu,
it depicts honor
"afro hair" messages unbridlity,
social days in africa coveys our age-long tradition
of respect.
Bob maley relays the mail;
the queen's
and princess's silk
and gold
are out-dated now.
The beauty saloon holds the secrets!
Fashion fades
they come and go;
