Poetry: Evil Elders by Iftekhar Sayeed
evil elders
I must learn evil
from my elders
who are evil
born under evil
over fifty years
ago
born under foreign
yoke
they learned evil
from their masters
they learned
to reject our ways
and yet
retain our ways
such as learning
from elders
not contradicting
them
respecting
them
when they preach
before my bowed
head
that we are equal
for so the white
man had said
