This old man…poem by Ayanle
Â
Do we not have any sense of nationalism
or has it been replaced by a backward system called tribalism
Don’t pretend this isn’t true
It’s especially true of that old man that walks toward you
what will you say to that old man that walks toward you
who looks at you and says “son from what tribe are you”
so how will you respond to this old man
who walks toward you with no iman
this old man has a master plan
not only for you but for the entire land
look into his eyes and he has no fear
shedding blood is his only career
