Flourish

Flourish,  
Flourishing as the sun shining you daily 
Rejoicing  as  abundant rain watering your fields 
and creating some dams 
for farming fish and feeding your animals. 
You are burgeoning in the eyes
 of some lazy folks
 who have big mouths 
to talk senseless speeches in the streets 
and forgetting  their arable lands 
which are fitting for industrial  agriculture. 

Flourish, 
Oh! Laughing deafeningly sometimes 
when I focus on some tête -à-tête debates 
Which concern poverty in rich continent like Africa. 
Some folks suffering because of some circumstances 
and others dependence due to sluggishness. 

Flourish, 
DRCongo has more billionaire businessmen 
and some politicians 
who keep their money in their mansions 
and banks  
in Europe,  Asia  America and other African countries...
Other rich people hide their money  under the grounds 
 than investing in industrial fishing and agriculture 
and infrastructures to uplift 
the economy of the Country.
