Character

Destroy my character tossed back to Africa I feel like myself nolonger sentenced to starve, why? I wonder seduced by hunger reduced to a statistic, why? i still wonder introduced to pain blindly found marks of poverty on my body, why me? Begged to be released kindly, Words trapped in my rib cage history is related to Vintage been expressing rage lately words flow faintly, whispers!! I hate this perimeter, Used to call it Africa Today it slays your character!! Africa..

Humanity can be a desperate thing. Harness the water and Africa will rise to more than you expect her to be.
