The Mental Slavery
It does not make me surprise
That if the Westerners
And mostly English authors
Who have influenced
On the third world people
But it is the surprise
If you write anything,
With the English name or brand
It becomes widely read and liked
If you write it, with your native name
It is not only the unworthy
And ignored
But also considered unimportant
By the people of the third world
It is the clarity and the proof
That mental slavery still exists.
