Poem
MOTHER AFRICA "This is the most difficult letter I've ever written in my life. Where do I start? What do I say? Does she know I still exist?...She probably thinks I'm dead! I just wish I could touch her once and feel her warm embrace...That's so distant in my mind...I wonder if she remembers my name? Will she recognize my voice or understand the words I speak? Oh well...all I can do is speak the truth...She knows you're lost..." Mother Africa...Only you posses the beauty unlike any other the world has ever seen Elegantly adorned in all of nature's grace with the equator wrapped snugly around your waist Ancient mystical pyramids jut up from your soil guarded by the wondrous Sphinx Mother Africa...Dry your eyes the Nile River has overflown from all the tears you've cried Diaspora broke your heart so maliciously All your wealth and your children were taken away...Strewn across this old earth like a tattered moth-eaten blanket...Still used anyway Mother Africa...Surely you know we not only sing...Africa! Africa! Africa! Your endangered offspring's have created so many things of which you can be proud Mother Africa...Don't despair one glorious day we will return and bring the bounty back home for all to share...AFRICA!
