Fragment – Over the Rainbow

CATEGORY

life

Views: 217

The colonial masters came

With abounding plans to fragment.

They spread their wings over the diamonds,

They suffocated the gold,

They pecked at the copper,

They smothered the platinum,

They cornered the cobalt into their web,

They scurried away with the cocoa.

 

They clipped the wings of those

Left behind with

Fragmented land

Fragmented culture

Fragmented language

Fragmented sense of purpose

Fragmented sense of direction

Fragmented minds.

 

Once orderly people are now

Left with fragments they are  

Painstakingly trying to piece together.

What an arduous task lies ahead,

But with God’s guidance it will be done.
