CIVILIZATION DAWNED ON US (FOR AFRICANS) [VERSE III ‘3’]

CIVILIZATION DAWNED ON US

Yes, they came and arrived

With luxurious and wealth’s

To launch their faiths

And despoil our shrines

Was that a civilization?

O, they came and arrived

With mirrors and umbrellas

To reveal our dark skins and shield the sun

As substitute for our hunky men

Was that a civilization?

Ah! They came and arrived

With smile and wrapped kindness

To establish schools and hospitals

And depreciate our folktales and stories

Was that a civilization?

They came and arrived

With tattered and skimpy dresses

Their culture grew tall

To scorn and shun ‘Aso ofi’;

Aran; ‘Aso Adire’(old-time cloth)

Was that a civilization?

They came, and they arrived

With series of guns and gun-powders

They killed fellow humans not lions

To mock our skill in holding ‘Bajinatu(gun)’

Was that a civilization?
