decolonisation reconsidered

what we were left was echo of your word
the shadow of a kingdom of the blind
where error and unkindness were enshrined

our truest ruler was the carrion bird
who never feigned to be another kind
what we were left was echo of your word

all our ordinances are quite absurd
creations of authoritarian mind
for you and not for us they were designed
what we were left was echo of your word
