A Woman of Africa

A Woman of Africa

Indisposed by the load of tragedies,
Her tears waters the floors of mother earth.

A lonely life she leads an orphan on her back
Into an agonizing path of unknown future.

Passerby feed their eyes to her perishing soul
As they journey their ways far from mercy.

A bright day to others, a dark one for her,
But to God the father she continues to lament.

Hang in there seed of eden,
Africa will one day be saved.
