Brain-drain in Africa
(excerpt)

The Labourer Tills the Sun
The Harvester Sleeps in the Shade
Cranks Milk the Cow
Commoners lick the Crumbs
The truth Dies
Sycophancy its Heir
Sheep in Death's Clothing
Lead lions in Sheep's Skin
Ignorance Reigns
Knowledge the Bus Boy
Crudity is King
Finesse is Criminal
Tradition stifles
Innovation a Bastard
Religion an Opium
Freedom an Asthma
Human Rights a Myth
Nepotism an Ally
Nationhood a Mirage
Tribalism the Staple diet
Minimum Essentials
Become Rare Commodities
Collective focus
Not a Value Cherished
Tradition-Bound
Emasculates the Progress-bound
13th Century
Sneers at the 21st
Contracts on Your Head
Signal Boss Protégé Promotion
Clique-Ness is Politics
Drowning Progressive Principles
Justice a Threat
Appeasement a Deal
We are still Dancing, while
Others are on the Moon
Happy Crude Fools
All about Nothing.

We tolerate our ills too Well
Buffoons that we are
Others would have Seen Red.
