USA Africa Dialogue Series - They Sadden The Muse Of Music (Poem)

By Chidi Anthony Opara

They sing songs like 

"partee after partee........",

They sing obscenities,

They sing shallowness

And ask us to

"make some noise for DJ shallow!".

They would neither sing songs like

"until the philosophy 

Of the colour of a man's skin.......".

Nor would they sing songs like

"if you call am African woman......".

They sing songs like 

"partee after partee........",

They sing obscenities,

They sing shallowness,

They sadden the muse of music.
