Anyone can understand this...if you have read the others...about racism in India...fuck it!


Make Una Kill Dat Monkey

Dem dey call we monkey
Dem no know wetin dem look like

Dem no dey allow make we rest
Wit dem monkey monkey
Like say we be mu-mu

Abeg, make God come deliver we o
Everywhere we go, dem dey call we monkey
Dem dey shout, 'huh! huh!'
Like say we no be human beings

If dem see we, dem dey ask God
Say make e kill we
'Make una kill dat monkey'

Dis ting don make me weary
God make you come helep us o
Dis ting don tire we

Dem dey talk say we black like monkey
Na only God know who dey behave like monkey

Pidgin English I am finding is a cool language for poems. I see the anger and frustration. We all go through racism as long as we can think, some people never will and let their eyes decide.
