April 10 A Poem: Africa AFRICA
Africa! Africa! Africa!
Who gave you the name Africa?
Is it God, animal or man?
Why is it you are known as a 3rd world country or developing country,
not developed country!
Is it because of poverty, war, famine or flood?
Sudan and Somalia ever fighting among themselves,
no benefit they are gaining!
Children and women are always crying with agony in their camps.
Africa, who gave you the name?
Or is it because we have prostitutes
and that is why we are dying like chickens
with this killer disease known as HIV/AIDS.
Africa, who gave you the name?
Or is it because we lack land!
That is why we stay like elephants in groups.
Or is it we don't know how to build, that is why we stay in slums
like Kibera and Soweto.
Africa, who gave you the name?
Or is it because we lack education?
That is why we give birth in our early ages
and increase the population hence decreasing food.
Why are we giving birth like fish in the water?
Africa, who gave you the name?
Let's stand like Africans and join our hands together
to built our continent.
What we need is peace and love.
Let's live like a family.
Africa, who gave you the name?
