Lighting Shadow
In this wonder continent
some come with eagerness
singing liberation songs
to distressed souls tortured
in their hands light shines
in their hands, candles are seen
in their hands torch of life flickers
Let them settle down on stools
light, candles, torch disappear
and all the way through
keep busy lighting shadows
They ask the beneficiaries
to harvest from the light
cast by shadows of charity
Here in Africa
