Poem: Lightning sky shattered thick cloud into drizzling rain The whimsical climate is similar to a stepmother-like spring The dripping scattered all over People started to run in all directions. The rain began to pour like flood The big water slurped away African music and the heart of Jazzy culture. “You loot I shoot” became the slogan of every day life instead of the original laid back performance everywhere. We mourn for the collapse of a musical Mecca where the pilgrims look for Consolation and redemption of sinful souls. The more water gathered the more sunk Of the human trust in imperialism Profit maximization and efficiency can no longer interpret the the disparity between the rich and the poor The poor loot for staying alive But the price they pay is sentenced for life or death No one should be proud of this uneven distribution of wealth. Because the shame is not evenly distributed to everyone. All copyright reserved by Bravo Li Any citation or transcription should consult the author’s permission.
