What is it?
by nii ayertey aryeh
So what is it that makes
You find one of them more
Appealing than the other?
When they both suffered the
Same end of assassination.
What is it that makes you
celebrate one as a national hero?
When they both stood and fought
For the same cause of black rights and freedom.
What is it that makes you
Happily glorify and recognise
one more than the other?
Oh! Is it because one is a Christian
And the other a Moslem.
I don’t care about your excuses
But when mention Martin Luther King jnr.
Don’t forget to also praise Malcolm X, Kwame Ture
And all those who resisted your shameful violence.
What ever it is that makes you put up a statue
Of Nelson Mandela infront of your parliament
Should also make you feel humbly ashamed to put
Up one inside the same parliament.
Because your EU’s ideas are originally his.
Excuse my ignorance! What is it at all?
