Africa Liberation Day 25th May

Africa Liberation Day 25th May

In Africa we are proud and we always show it to the whole world. Indicating that black is power and all, that power we have is on no use to people like us who don’t have it, after so many years ever since the white man had left the land for us, we still behave like we are still in the colonial times. I still have so many tears, still survive in a land we call free. Where is the freedom we struggled for, the independence and the peace, was it for an individual or for the whole continent? We never develop we fall day by the day. Africa is in crisis that’s what we hear in the news all day, Zimbabwe is an embarrassment to the whole continent, democracy has failed to flourish in the land, politicians are thugs with no guns while robbing. They steal and leave you struggle. Its on the calendars, Africa Liberation Day May 25th but what is it to me but just any other day in the year! If I think about this I tear, for I got so much fear there ain’t a reason to celebrate, we always regret and we never appreciate, the wrong has dominate and nothing good can stagnate, its like good and Africa is gone and will never be strong, I wonder why we keep going wrong. I see no liberation, I see frustration, miss-education. No work with dedication for the taxes are eating up our pockets each day, inflation is taking over this land with arrogance and no mercy for we choose to be that way, wasted. Kenya the struggle is power and wealth generation, in south Africa there is ethnic violence, discrimination. Brothers can’t even read and write yet they want to be given jobs to do! Development is biased, things are done on a one sided basis. Yowerri wants to die in presidency, Mugabe wants to make stupidity in presidency, where is the f**king democracy? Where is the reason to celebrate liberation in Africa? Akon sung mama Africa, for sure he has seen the potential being exploited by a few. We claim to be great why should we be silent when the continent is flaming? What will our kids say when they face a burnt up nation? Why do we always have to ask for aid? Or being independent means we survive on aid? I know we are on our knees and need the aid but why make it a habit? I see no reasons for this day and shy it should be a holiday, the fathers who came up with it are surely disappointed, we still hate each other, we still lazy and make no meaning, we leave in dreams and fail to state the facts, why do we have to mention parties and there is no reason to party? Kenyan MPs are busy with home comings while ignoring what the real issue is, we still got IDPs so many in camps. The share market is owned by the few rich dudes. The country is run by the few rich men. Over half the continent is drowned in poverty; we got no roads, no safety in place. Certain areas in Kenya feels like outa the country maybe in Somali, talk of the nation that has failed to have peace; Darfur is a war zone and a blood spot, we cant move if we have no governments we have no systems but people in place to control the work force. What liberation is that? We are still slaves to our African leaders, we’re enslaved by them and never to be free. I see no use to celebrate the liberation cause is no more in Africa, and we’re getting to era of darkness so F**k Africa Liberation Day

true, true...Kwame would be soo disappointed at the lack of Africanism that has swept through the continent.
We have nohing to celebrate in the face of war, starvation, disease, autocratic rule and racism.
The ALD has been shortchanged.
