\nWe dismiss our local coaches
\nWe use Serbian coaches
\nWe ghettoize local coaches
\nGhanaians
\nThe products of self-hate
\nAdulation of the other
\nLove foreign things
\nWhite things above all
\nWorship foreigners
\nUse multiple foreign names
\nJohn Stuart Mills Mensah
\nMarybeth Elizabeth Eucabeth Addo
\nGhanaians now use Chinese names
\nChin Chan Chic Boakye
\nIt is chic
\nOur cycles of doom
\nPunctuated with cyclic rhythm
\nOf rhymes of inferiorized education
\nOf beating of reckless beats
\nOf the best comes from the West
\nOf rhymes of our education
\nOf our doomed blackness
\nOf our eternal inferiority complex
\nOf false provenance
\nAuthored by erstwhile colonialists
\nGulped down by pot-bellied elites
\nSmiling
\nSwaggering
\nSauntering after foreign things
\nSuited in make-shift woolen suits
\nFaultlessly in suicidal ties
\nCaptivating eloquence of incompetence
\nBrimming with pride
\nSwaggering in inferiority
\nDoffing colonial hats
\nBeaming to the West
\nLofting colonial mentality
\nIdeas without borders
\nBordering our retrogression
\nSmiling
\nSwaggering
\nSauntering after foreign things
\nWe dismiss our local architects
\nWe use Indian architects
\nWe dismiss our local engineers
\nWe use German engineers
\nWe dismiss our local masons
\nWe use Chinese artisans
\nWe dismiss our way of life
\nWe use foreigners\u2019 way of life
\nCaptivating inferiority complex
\nVisceral disrespect for localisms
\nOur idealized narratives of progress
\nOur regalia of inferiority
\nBuilt on inferiorized insecurities
\nFraudulent orthodoxy
\nOf colonial mentality
\nNurtured by our education
\nIn an infectious Petri-dish
\nOf the best comes from the West
\nThe proverbial day-nursery rhyme
\nThe prophetic elementary school rhyme
\nThe predictive rhyme at the university
\nAh the best comes from the West
\nAh even a Serbianized West
\nGhettoes outside of Africa
\nSo Ghanaians forage
\nHunt for
\nRaid, gather
\nIn a Paleolithic daze
\nFight for Serbian coaches
\nIn a possessed Neolithic gaze
\nGhanaians exterminate
\nHunt down
\nAssault, assail
\nLocal Ghanaian coaches
\nWe dismiss our local soccer coaches
\nWe use Serbian coaches
\nWe dismiss our local architects
\nWe use Indian architects
\nWe dismiss our local engineers
\nWe use German engineers
\nWe dismiss our local masons
\nWe use Chinese artisans
\nWe dismiss our way of life
\nWe use foreigners\u2019 way of life
\nCaptivating inferiority complex
\nVisceral disrespect for localisms
\nOur idealized narratives of progress
