TAINT NOT MY DARKNESS

I can live abroad in peace

Even as I see species of white everywhere

I can live abroad without fear

Even as my vision is blurred with white beings

What I fear is a white on my land in darkness

Our super-institutions say seeing whites in your dream is witchcraft

So why will I want to see that which I fear in the dark?

I can live abroad in peace

Even as I see species of white everywhere

Because that is not my motherland

I have to be invisible when I have to

Because I know I will be a temporal encroacher

So here, on my motherland, I have to live large

And without the fear of seeing white ghosts in the serene darkness

I can live abroad in peace

Even as I see species of white everywhere

Because they live in their homes

And can do no harm to my land

We all know of their superiority complex

That seeks to kill our spirit even in the present

After breaking our grandparents pride and making them donkeys in the past

I can live abroad in peace

Even as I see species of white everywhere

Because my Maame Asabea is there

My nana is also there

My Sewaa Yaa lives there and so does my Wↄfa Kofi

So seeing that which I fear will not scare me

Because I will have protectors everywhere

I can live abroad in peace

Even as I see species of white everywhere

This is because life sent my family there

And I must live in their presence

So leave me enjoy my blackness

Be obscure

Scary white encroachers tainting my serene darkness
