Dear Alderman De Lille ...
I too seek the freedom of the city
so if you give it to him it will be a
pity
was not his contribution to the city nil?
Perhaps you did not really notice
He continued a war never well liked
And with it we found the petrol price
hiked
Of their many atrocities there are
photos
Africa his land of birth he has
forgotten
His memory is short reminds a roman
poet
He has ignored Africa as if he does
not know it
His record for this continent is truly
rotten
So perhaps my own ancestry is lesser
known
But there are books that document this
all
My ancestors, their actions set in
motion the ball
No doubt their contribution to the
city can be shown
I therefore humbly ask you Alderman De
Lille
To please reconsider the award to this
man
Don’t do something just because you
can
I believe my will is also the people’s
will
He has forgotten Africa
My land and your land
I urge you to understand
His Love is only America
