THEME: BROKEN WALLS

MUHAMMED SHAMS-DEEN

Title: Our Eternal Building

It is hard to forget to remember 

That we are torrential rains

That descend on our  salty buildings.

When we sacked the strange builder

We let the walls of his building

To greet the ground.

When Nkrumah did marry mama

He built our home to our shoulders level

But our elder brother leveled the building 

To reveal our nudity.

We are evacuated from laughter

When a pale brother like stranger

Roasted us in flames of violence

Using relatives as building materials.

We claim ruinous regalia of our inheritance

Munched by inept antics as builders...

HEVARDINAR

Title: Broken walls 

The nation speaks of corruption

Corruption from black leaders 

Leaders from heroic deeds

There are cracks on the wall

How do we get them fixed?

Militants use force to take over 

Civilians have nothing to do 

The world would soon stop 

The walls are broken 

The bricks are dead 

In unity we will build it back 

The one good black nation 

I'm African, I'm black, I'm beautiful
