A letter to China by Nyambe lubasi
Letter to China
You are such good people
And the technology you alone have brought
Is as sweet as a bar of candy that melts slowly
inside a young child's mouth,
'Cause without you our black children would not have toys that lull them to sleep whenever their eyes become as heavy as a sack of wet sand.
The phones you make for us are so good
And even in the inner chambers of the toilet,
A man can call his wife and tell her to bring him more toilet paper
Or he can call someone to sing him a soothing song,
That's if he had eaten some hard stuff the previous day
You people from China are really good people
The roads you...
You are such good people
And the technology you alone have brought
Is as sweet as a bar of candy that melts slowly
inside a young child's mouth,
'Cause without you our black children would not have toys that lull them to sleep whenever their eyes become as heavy as a sack of wet sand.
