Solomon Ochwo-Oburu Poet Free verse

Africa Looks At Them Fly Away

Africa bereft  for long
of needles and threads
to sew together costumes
to keep cool, warm, safe
in  winter of their own life
and bind brotherhood thing
looked at 19th century fly
observed 20th century fly
and now the  21st century
with its legs off the runway
 its wings postured ready
for high altitude flights
may surely bid another bye
as the century flies away
