africa
oh africa
you who has awaited for an outsider's approval
to celebrate your worth,
when you stopped breathing
you allowed your seeds to go
without any directions,
they hid themselves behind bushes
runnning away from those who claim
to fight for the day you will be left alone
to fend for your own children,
children who looking for something
not many could provide .
WHERE were you ?
when a young boy was initiated into a murderer
Read the rest of the poem Show less
for your independence
you deserted you people
in their time of need.
so independence came .......,
with her friend corruption ,
who was sold to the hungry
by your perpetraters
who many thought we were fighting
but encouraging to thinks of us
as barbaric
you gave them an excuse to stand on podiums
and take no responsibility for dehumanizing
your people.
your curiousity welcomed them
and they invaded your sanctuary
and took away with them
the one thing that proves us
to be of the same mother,
our humility .
now you have be patient
before your young ones come back
to you ,
acknowledge the wrongs of past
and they will acknowledge the fact
that their are yours.

on TOO SCARED from @Professor Purple

"THERE is one thing I live for , and that is to wake up early in morning and be a witness to the rising of the sun. whenever the sun sets there is always that exciting feeling one can' t explain but you know you've got to feel it without having to express yourself , people especialy those who live in the city often ask ' whats the big deal about the sun? anyway , everyone knows it , and often than not has expirienced its heat and besides the people who make such a big deal to watch thesun set have nothing better to do with their time ,they don't have a job to get to , no kids to prepare for school." -
