African Dawn
Categories: Poetree
Written By: mcyb

I woke up in the middle of dawn to sing and dance and curse at the African continent
For I couldn’t take no more of the struggling and suffering of my fellow country-men
For I couldn’t stand no longer to watch my kind drown dead in HIV, hunger and poverty
Sorrow and pain
Pain with no gain
Africa I mourn
African dawn
For darkness has now come with peace
And a feeling of ease,
I go down on my knees to say a prayer,
And hope for better,
For Africa is my continent
For in Africa I have confidence

Sounds realistic your evaluation. It is good to see that you follow up about these important african questions. But sometimes I have the impression that it is nonsense to think about it. The contientn of Africa is somehow gone from our mindes and from television. There seems to be only killing and frustrations in a large range of African areas. So why to look at this? … Your are right: Better to look at it than to leave African questions alone. Go on please!.
