[Babatunde Olatunji]
|
Please.. wake me when I am free
|
I cannot bear captivity
|
Where my country, I am told, "Hold no significance"
|
I withered and died in ignorance
|
but my inner eye can see, a race,
|
who reigned as kings in another place
|
The green trees were rich and full
|
and every man spoke of beautiful men and women together as people
|
|
War was gone because all was at peace
|
but now like a nightmare, I woke to see
|
that I live like a prisoner of poverty..
|
|
Please.. wake me when I am free
|
I cannot bear captivity
|
For, I would rather be stricken blind
|
than to live without expression of mind
|
