Sleep not,ye Africa by Godoni Yohana.

POEM NO 1.

Africa,my Africa
Africa,my birthplace
Africa,my Mark
Wake up and never get stuck
For,it is morning
And everybody is awake
Wake up,there is light
Sleep not,ye Africa.

Sleeping,sleeping
All day long
Sleeping on the footpath
Believing
That we are in the dark
That we can't reach the peak
Like them- the bitch
Will uncover our bodies.
Sleep not,ye Africa.

Sleeping in the hut
Of whites will support
While still we are powerful and young
And talking in the language
Of manyanga-gabbage
Will cut our legs
And we shall move no more-lames.
Sleep not,ye Africa.

Composed in 2013
And was edited in 2019.

I have liked the poem and it if very infuencial to Afriacans.

Africans should not sleep and wait for a help from Whites.
If Africans continue sleeping ohoo, when they wake up it will be too late. They can even be ruled by people from abroad.

UNTOUCH YOUR FATHER'S BEARDS by mwl Godoni Yohana

POEM NO 7 Once upon a time A time of childhood Childhood of innocence, I did dare touch my father's beards But slaps escorted me like President by a guard. Once,long ago I learned that silence Is a sign of good morals Because in a meal time We were told,"tranquillity." Long,long time ago Universities had mouths Mouths as big and wide as suez canal But now Earthquakes filled them with dusts, And they can't talk nothing. You can touch your grandfather's beards But please Never your father's. Twenty zero five Is never similar to twenty fifteen as coffin and booth; But Dear uni... Speak,speak Speak the truth No matter the dusts No matter death Cause death is like food.

Ushairi kwangu lulu Kwako nakuwaje, Hunipatia uhuru Nawe waonaje Ñaipaisha Kasulu Wewe unafanyaje?. Mu wapi malenga Tuyaanze majibizano? Tamati nimefikia Ya shairi kuandika Upweke ulinizidia Pekee kusikika Nkaamua kuwajia Mkekani kuwaalika Mu wapi malenga Tuyaanze majibizano?.
