Mother Africa.

Today, I walk the paths my fathers used to walk with pride

With tears in my eyes and heaviness in my heart

The thoughts that they turn in their graves

Tears my heart into pieces

 

Today, I think of the strong

and courageous ones

The ancient warlords and rulers

Full of wit and wisdom

Quick to think and quick to act

Who brought this place to what it used to be

The tales we have heard is better than any story ever

 

Yet, all we see is ruins and artefacts

No manifestation of the awesomeness she once possessed

She weeps and the hot tears burn out skin

She screams and the noise

hurts our ears

 

How do we placate our mother Africa?

How do we stop her tears?

How do we make her not scream?

She fights the evil, she is losing and we are suffering

 

Please tell us

How do we make her

smile again?

Even beautifully and with joy?

 

Thank you for your time.

My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks, with speed and ease.

Still me,

My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.
