I’ll Rumble On



                      …I’ll rumble on
To curse our naïve conquerors
Kapem the cowards come back home

Someone has caught our voice
And handed it over to owners of nights
And zadokeli do le Bleamezado

A world with a single tongue can never
Be a human world but they caught our tongue
And handed it over to owners of nights

Its poverty that made the vulture sell
Her hair to the owl for thirty cowries
For the barren must also endure in kodzogbe

Oh, distant dreams beckon honey call
But I stand on this ruined primal compound
Hitting our naïve conquerors in subliminal baritone
I’ll rumble on…
