Talk is cheap but not as much as you
You step on my soil and insult my ethnicity?
You look at my brown skin and feel disgusted.
And who are you to insult my ethnicity in my own land
This soil is mine as it is for every African
You still talk so high of yourself I see
Though you still remain so dumb that you don’t realize the obvious
Oh yes! This is my soil as it is for every African.
I banish any form of colonization of my being as it will remain buried in my soil
This soil is mine as it is for every Africa.
I will not bow down before you…
Just because your hair is sleek
Your skin is fairer
and your speech is eloquent
I am a second-grade citizen of the world according to you
But this brown soil is mine and my identity is “I”.
