Africa What I See In You

When I Google you, I recognize the struggles and muggles you face, I recognize the brutalities and the scars from decades of suppression and oppression which you endure; The broken promises, failings and shortfalls; I recognize the enormous work and journey ahead; I see the repulse and self defeatist attitude occasioned By broken hopes and aspirations; I recognize the seasons and reasons for the youths failure to thrive, In the face of monumental battles confronting them daily When I Google you, I recognize the unmistakable hurdles, scurdles, shuttles and scuttles; The suppressed emotions, emissions, missions, visions, and vanquished voices of the voiceless, The brazen helplessness, hopelessness and long worn faces Of countless array of seen and unseen battles; The dwarfed armoury of opportunities occasioned by lack of vision, mission, emotions to thrive, ride and drive But, I can also envision: The salient, but countless unspeakable and unquenchable determination and desire in you; The urge, surge, splurge, hidden treasures, pleasures, possibilities and the unheralded hope and abilities in humanity!
