I tease Efe

I tease Efe

I tease Efe*(friend)
She is not easy
Always busy
In sleep and choosey

Will she wake up?
Reply and then shut up
In her own kingdom
Where she has to reply seldom

Only black woman on my list
But quick and always first
To respond to the new poem
I attribute all poems to them

Africa is reeling under repression
All kind of violations and suppression
No one safe and constant blood shed
No capable leadership who can be led

Day may come soon
Sun may shine bright in noon
They must have peaceful nights under moon
Have their dinner on the table with spoon

Africa needs some attention
It finds hardly any mention
World has become greedy
They are helpless and not ready

They have to find way
Let whole world go away
Stop fight among brethrens
Make it real black (oil) heaven
