SONG OF OUR LAND? #?PART_ONE ?by @SammieAteka

I singThis dirge
At the funeral of our land
The world is lost,
And so is humanity
The world is blind
And so are we
Is it westernization?
Or education?
At least that's how
I call it
But the world calls it
Success
Academic achievements
Or riches
Money
Wealth and power
Our world is lost
Blinded
In oblivion
An expectant cloud of doom
Dangles
Loosely
Stealthily and fatally
I am boiling
In rage and fury
For I cant find
Our lost world
Strayed
Alienation of education
We,
Sons and daughters
Of our lush mother land
Have been
Drowned in the tumult sea
Of academic
Papers
Achievements
Qualifications
Is that the litmus test
Of the quality of life?
Is it true?
That if I fail
To memorize
The classroom knowledge and
Transfer it on paper
In the name of an exam
Then,
Society brands me a fool?
Fellow black menIs it true?
Its early morn'
Yet I mourn
Instead of breathing
The breeze of happiness
For the purpose
Of every childIn our blind world
So lost
Taken
Who will 'un-blind ' us
We,
The Sons and daughters
Of our land?
