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
