A State in the grip of neo-colonialism is not master of its own destiny. It is this factor which makes neo-colonialism such a serious threat to world peace.

India is yet to be free
In the external colonialism
A mighty country rules the weak one.
In the neo colonialism,
A rich country dictates the poor one.
In the internal colonialism,
A sect dominates the other within.
Free from neo colonialism
And internal ones, India is yet to be.

These wars appear also to have given its death blow to colonialism and to imperialism in its colonial form, under which weaker peoples were treated as possessions to be economically exploited. At least we hope that such colonialism is on the way out.

After two world wars, the collapse of fascism, nazism, communism and colonialism and the end of the cold war, humanity has entered a new phase of its history.
To campaign against colonialism is like barking up a tree that has already been cut down.

Poor As I Am
I live in Kinshasa,
The foundation of poverty,
The summit of culture,
A strange mixture: I know.
Poverty is a general state
Our natural behaviour
And they told me conscientiously
That my generation is a sacrificed one.
Poor as I am
I am trying to struggle
Against all consequences of colonialism
Convinced that another day
I will become rich
As they say of my country.

I would say colonialism is a wonderful thing. It spread civilization to Africa. Before it they had no written language, no wheel as we know it, no schools, no hospitals, not even normal clothing.
It's with them that we have constituted a liberation front and brought our logistic support to armies to help their countries come out of colonialism and establish a national internal regime.

Debt is such a powerful tool, it is such a useful tool, it's much better than colonialism ever was because you can keep control without having an army, without having a whole administration.

I am what you might call abstractly anti-capitalist. For instance, I am suspicious of the old leftists who focus all their hatred on the United States. What about Chinese neo-colonialism? Why are the left silent about that? When I say this, it annoys them, of course. Good!

Colonialism is known in its primitive form, that is to say, by the permanent settling of repressive foreign powers, with an army, services, policies. This phase has known cruel colonial occupations which have lasted 300 years in Indonesia.

Colonialism is an idea born in the West that drives Western countries - like France, Italy, Belgium, Great Britain - to occupy countries outside of Europe.

Research Can Unearth a Wealth of Knowledge
New England.
Colonialism.
The influence of the Dutch.
And...
Apartheid!
Things have a better chance,
To be comprehended.
When the basics of historical facts,
Are understood and 'not' left to be ignored...
As many wish they could!
Research can unearth,
A wealth of knowledge.
And dispel rumors,
With attached innuendo!
As the 'new' saying goes.

Shills
Shills of rancid lifeless priests
Indolent waves of amber hypocrisy
Religions of national honor
Ply your strife and pale armies
Here comes the fall of kings
Hide from the poor and sick
Wave your banners and flags
The hypnotized children of temples
They have chains of religion without God
Sharia law is repressive and of men
Follow men rather than love
False prophets
Only Jesus Christ sets free
Capitalism is a secular religion
My kingdom is not of this world
They try to tell you one country is better
They preach brands and money
Militarism, imperialism, colonialism
Steal the land or enslave the people
State religions are so evil
Nationalism the idolatry of power
God by the gun
Spirit of a mob
The shills of religion and states

Gotta Get A Grip On You
(r palmer/ a powell)
I can't tell temptation from chance
You are gonna have to lead me a dance
You are stepping so treacherously
It makes me wonder why it's gettin' to me
Gotta get a grip on you, gotta get a grip on you girl
I can't tell patience from fear
You are gonna have to take it from here
I like the way you carry on
It makes me want to sing this song
Gotta get a grip on you, gotta get a grip on you girl
Gotta get a grip on you
Gotta get a grip on you,
Gotta get a grip on you
Gotta get a grip on you
You know i can't tell temptation from chance
You are gonna have to lead me a dance
You are stepping so treacherously
It makes me wonder why it's gettin' to me
Gotta get a grip on you, gotta get a grip on you girl
Gotta get a grip on you, gotta get a grip on you girl
Come to grips with you
Gotta get a grip on you,
Come to grips with you
Gotta get a grip on you
Come to grips with you

Africans In Time
I heard they were fighting
the colonialism and oppression biting
shedding tears of ailing
and longing for rays of healing
Now i see them fighting
again roots of ruling
that have eaten their plains of living
like hyenas in dwelling
But now it's their kinsmen
not the white man
Asegai versus Asegai
and not the mighty canons
Africans in time
Every moment is ripe
the fruit of our style
is the glory of our land

Colonialism Of The Heart
And then
There comes a day
when one passes the other
as one among the crowd
Come one may
as a polite guest
gently knocking
at the walls of the heart
The politeness leads
to little closeness
and then to occupying the heart
something similar to
fanon's theory of colonialism!
There comes a day
once again in a different way
where the knock fades into thin air
and the foolish heart
keeps hearing every sound
as that gentle knock
that still reverberates the walls
And when the foolishness
gives a hard stare
into the now empty eyes
that's when the ground under the feet
caves in as if an earthquake
Easier to realize the foolishness
difficult to come to terms!

Lord of the Flies
Oh Master my Master
Oh where have you been
I wallowed in filth and
I drowned in sin
Oh Master my Master
It's my rotten luck
To swim in the decay
And swallow the muck
Oh Master my Master
I stand in the fires
Surrounded by murderers
Thieves, cheaters, and liars
Oh Master my Master
the earth has turned red
Fluid with blood
Of the recently dead
Oh Master my Master
What's wrong with the world
The blackness unfolds
Like a flag that's unfurled
Oh Master my Master
You ignore my cries
And now I'm quite sure
You're the Lord of the Flies
