BURUNDI
In a world filled with giants
lives a group of pygmy people
of the great lakes.
Ethnically bound and subject to emotion
They operate with lower gods
And are rebellious to the creator of men.

Brevity is not an option In their brief feckless life
Like all dark-minded men
they bray, blabber and bellow
Along with my bongo 
to the beat of this tired chant.
black and proud
black don't crack
black girl magic
black lives matter
And once you go black, 
you never come back.

Saturated with sensuality feigning unity
A society drowns in plagues, corruption, hunger and calamity.
Malignant self love their way of life
So one cannot spot a neighbor
outside their race or tribe.

I'm a free lance conceptual commercial artist based in Nairobi' Kenya Conceptualizing music on canvas, trying to give an illustration on what he perceives the artiste songs is about. I also have a keen interest in children and have published three coloring books to introduce them early to art. These can be purchased on line. Art can change the course of a nation and I am pledged on playing my part in this.
