                             THE STEM


Africa! I cry.


I cry for the minds of your Leaders;


And the Leaders of your mind-Deprived You.


For your choice remains your want.


Your priced Possession for your common Progression


are your very wastes!


 


A waste of Leaders through whims of Riggers,


For yours are Leaders whose heart


Are your very cries, yet maimed.


The stem of your Roots for the Fruition of your Nation.


Your Head, Africa, is your sickness


though your body’s perfect,


You are seen sick!


 


I accuse you Africa,


Of silence.


Of silence, Africa, when your choice-at your very reach-


eludes you.


As urine is not water’s substitute near a bank


So your Riggers are not for your Leaders.


Only your cry, Africa, is mine’s cure!


                       


                                                 AJAYI, Kolade,
