STRANGER

I am a stranger
In my country
Like a fish out of water

I am a stranger
In my country
Like a whiteman
Among black people

I am a stranger
In my country
Like a barren woman
In an African family

A stranger to a deadly culture
Like an AIDS victim
A stranger to severe tradition
Like those in hell

My soul wails for freedom
Like those in purgatory
