Okot p'Biteks "Song of Prisoner" är plågsam att läsa-
-
"Listen to the hunting drums
And the hunting horns
Mingling with the howls
Of hunting dogs,
See the river of pain
On the face of the singer,
The anguish of rape
Bloodshed and death....
-
Black corpses strewn
Along the streets,
Dead do free Africa
So that they may
Suffer in
Freedom!
-
A white mercenary
Falling with a spear
Through his liver,
Dying to save Africans
From Africans.
