Paradox of capitalism on Africa and misplacement of cultural values.

In Africa’s heart, a paradox is found,

Capitalism’s grip, its reach profound,

Misplaced culture, on shifting ground,

A clash of worlds, where truths abound.

Capital’s embrace, promises untold,

Yet culture’s essence, often sold,

In the pursuit of wealth and gold,

Africa’s story, left unrolled.

Traditional values, in capitalism’s sway,

Africans torn, in a modern-day play,

Misplaced culture, led astray,

In capitalism’s shadows, they stay.

As skyscrapers rise, on African soil,

Culture’s roots, begin to coil,

In the quest for progress, a turmoil,

Capitalism’s paradox, hard to foil.

But amidst this clash, a hope remains,

African culture, in resilient strains,

In the heart of people, it sustains,

A paradox faced, yet culture maintains.

Let us not forget, amidst the race,

Africa’s culture, its sacred grace,

In capitalism’s whirlwind, find a place,

A balance struck, for future’s embrace.
