Therefore, people were victimized by the colonizer and even killed when their purpose were not fulfilled.Īgain in the same stanza, he talks about the nature of the colonizer and their traits. Also, he adds that the colonel of carrion, the worm, which symbolises the British, had no sympathy towards the dead people. People were being killed and their dead bodies were scattered like cattle on the beautiful land of Africa. He starts the poem with the scenario how the disaster came like hurricane and destroyed everything as quick as possible. The very first stanza mainly talks about the problems that arose after the Africa was colonized by British. This information helped me to make some assumption about writing this poem and I read and understood in my way. As I read about the poet, Derek Walcott, I came to know that he is an African Poet.
