    The poem expresses the desire of Africa to be independent and not controlled by other nations. It suggests that while Africans are different from other people, outsiders interfere with African affairs and try to make Africans conform instead of letting them be themselves. The poem argues that each person and continent was made uniquely by God, so outsiders should let Africa determine its own path.

    Africa’s Plea
    BY: Roland Tombekai Dempster

    I am not you –
    but you will not
    give me a chance
    will not let me be me

    ‘If I were you’ –


    but you know
    I am not you,
    yet you will not
    let me be me.

    You meddle, interfere


    in my affairs
    as if they were yours
    and you were me.

    You are unfair, unwise,


    foolish to think
    that I can be you,
    talk, act
    and think like you.

    God made me me.


    He made you you.
    For God’s sake
    Let me be me
