African Love

African Love

********************************

Amongst flowers
There are roses 
Et white ixoras
Amidst stars
There is the sun
Of waters, 
There is the ocean
To rivers,
There is the Nile
To Africa
is mad dictators
And constitutionally imposed hypocrites  
For all African laws 
There are exemptions 
Amid stones, 
There are diamonds;
Blood diamonds
To fighting wars 
There are insidious conspiracies
Of getting old 
Is growing cold
And letting go
For African oxymorons 
Is both paradoxes and confused morons
Of true love is friendship set to music,
Bathing blindfolded in the dark seas
But of my African love is 
sets of musing ...
