(Where Morocco carries the dreams of Arab world and Africa in World Cup Soccer, British economy trails behind that of India while getting a PM of Indian origin- the former colonies are asserting themselves in a world where the playing field has never been level…)
They didn’t ask for any apology
They didn’t ask for any reparation
They moved forward despite their history
Bloodied and soiled by colonization
They hunkered down and quietly toiled
Equality with the colonizers was a distant dream
They powered through poverty and turmoil
To rebuild what was plundered, a monumental task it seemed
*
The road is difficult, uneven the playing field
But their strong nerves are learning not to yield
To the deeply ingrained dictates of colonial power
To cut the cord of colonization is the need of the hour..
Let the world see those faces ignored
Let their hopes and ambitions soar
In this post-colonial world let a new order be unfurled
Let them take center-stage, the denizens of the third world
Passion...unbridled
