The weaver bird is a post colonial poem by the late Kofi Awonoor from Ghana. It utilises the symbol of the weaver bird to represent to coming of the colonialists to Africa. The use of language is very simple and this is effective in conveying a deeper meaning. It depicts the invasion of the coloniser and the predicament of the colonised people. Phrases like "And laid its eggs on our only tree" and "old shrines defiled by the weaver's excrement" show how the coloniser came to establish itself on the African continent , leaving them with nothing. A tone of bitterness and anger is brought out by the use of the word "excrement" which shows how the Africans do not consider the ways forced on to them by the West as superior .
