Stranja Depoet Poet Ode

African Babies

Happily bonded to the ground
They crawl in curiosity
Speak in strange tongues 
understood only by the gods that made them.

Their smile, a glow of the crescent moon
That calms wandering thoughts
Heal broken hearts 
And bring departed souls back to life.

The epitome of perfection,
Molded with carats of diamond
Gifts sent straight from the heavens above
African babies are true definition of beauty
and love.

Falling in their attempt to walk,
Never kills their dream.
They rise a hundred and one time,
When they fall a hundred times.

Their ability to experiment things that 
come their way,
Makes them no strangers in the land of  Einstein's.
Their dark rounded bodies, a clear cut of cuteness.
And their curious eyes are full of unending passion
With a burning desire never quenching.
     ... stranja

Rico Leffanta December 6, 2018 at 11:07 AM It does take strength of character to smile when flies are fighting for a place on your eyes and mosquitoes for a place on your arms and legs. Western cultures do not understand native people want the land to sustain their grandchildren whereas Western cultures simply want to harvest all the resources before the next chap. Good luck! Aloha!
