When I was a boy I danced like alikoto
I swirl, and even twirl
My little behind stiff yet
With optical illusion I deceive myself
And the world, that my hard buttocks can whirl
When I became a man I danced kpalogo
I zigzagged, and even entered into holes
I gave up half of my father's house to friend
With a fast tongue I rattled all saying there!
My stranger-friend bought the sand for father
Now alone, I dance Azonto
I krump away while all my father's children ask:
Why have you sold the little we had?
They can go to court.
To unearth the truth and be inconsiderate in your approach to matters of serious concern in this world, to me, could be your tragic step--a deadly one to take. And most who have pursued it, you must know, have always not succeeded.

Quote from me
If and when we should consider our actions, we must add a smell of dignity, a touch of excellence, a feel of us, and a taste of our bitterness in orchestrating such actions
Africans, check this.
"I would be quite satisfied if my novels (especially the ones i set in the past) did no more than teach my readers that their past - with all its imperfections - was not one long night of savagery from which the first Europeans acting on God's behalf saved them from." ( Morning Yet on Creation Day, 1975). Chinua Achebe.
