The analysis of the poem "The song of the women of my land" by Oumar Farouk Sesay is-
The poet Oumar Farouk Sesay says that the women in his time used to sing songs whose lyrics represented the hardwork that they suffered during ploughing of land, the pain they suffered when they were treated as servants, handcuffed and ill-treated.
The song represented the pain, the love, compassion etc. The song represented their way of living and the history of time they saw.
But now all those women were dead and the song and lyrics were gone. They lyric were now used by local poets and singers. The voice of the song was dead now. The song was no longer comforting.
