Chinua Achebe Will Have His Revenge On EC1 Letra

So maybe someday some African nation will impose a protectorate and a hut tax on Whitehall.
And maybe one day my compadres in Delhi will de-industrialize the Docklands.
So we should fear their frustration
Their Khmer anger
Shored against ruin.
We should heed their terrain
Their Himalayas shored against collapse.
Chinua Achebe let's start pointing fingers at a room of Caucasian men, somewhere in EC1.
Ho Chi Minh here come the Americans again
This time armed with cameras and arrogance in place of their mp5s.
Steven Biko, what happened to Soweto?
Your disposessed millions have retained their apartheid slum.
Wealthy millions here comes an army of landmine refugees in limbless solidarity
Come to reclaim their positive equity in Kensington and Knightsbridge, Chelsea and Fulham.
And is their still time to disencircle Bagdhad and yet tell a jingo story about the good times we had?
Forty-five minutes at the top of this skyscraper
A thousand feet
It's not enough.
